Our best tips

Weather

Liverpool in April runs 8–12°C with frequent showers. Hospitality options keep you indoors and dry. Pack a light layer.

Dress code

No official dress code, but smart attire is advised. If you're travelling on the British Pullman, avoid casual wear: denim, trainers, shorts, and baseball caps are not permitted. It's the ideal setting for your best jackets and dresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Grand National meeting runs over three days, and the Randox Grand National itself is run on the Saturday over 4m 2½f.

The Grand National takes place at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

Aintree's dress code motto is “dressed to feel your best”, prioritising comfort and confidence, so anything from jeans and a shirt to a full race-day outfit is fine.

The name Aintree originated from Saxon times and is interpreted to mean 'one tree' or 'tree standing alone'.
