About
Aintree Racecourse
Aintree Racecourse is one of the UK's most recognisable sporting venues and the historic home of the Grand National. Located just outside Liverpool city centre, the racecourse combines its sporting heritage with extensive year-round conference, exhibition and event facilities.
The venue offers five self-contained grandstands, 14 conference and meeting rooms and 43 adaptable private boxes. The largest indoor spaces accommodate up to 600 guests, while extensive outdoor areas provide options for significantly larger events.
The Golden Miller and Sunloch Suites are the principal large conference and banqueting spaces, each providing 650 m² and capacities of up to 600 guests. The Exhibition Hall provides substantial ground-floor exhibition space with full-height roller doors and vehicle access, while the Princess Royal, Papillon, Corbiere, Wallis and other suites provide further options for conferences, dinners, meetings and breakout sessions.
Outside, Aintree provides 270 acres of green space alongside 3,700 m² of hard-standing exhibition space. The Red Rum Garden can accommodate events for up to 5,000 guests, making the venue particularly strong for festivals, team building, outdoor exhibitions and large corporate events.

Why Hire
Aintree Racecourse offers considerably more than its internationally recognised racing heritage. Its combination of substantial indoor event spaces, exhibition facilities and extensive outdoor areas makes it one of the most flexible large-scale event venues in the Liverpool region.
For major indoor events, the Golden Miller and Sunloch Suites can each accommodate up to 600 guests, while the Exhibition Hall provides nearly 1,000 m² of ground-floor space with excellent loading access.
The number of additional suites and private boxes is particularly useful for conferences requiring multiple breakout sessions, exhibitions, catering areas or organiser offices within the same venue.
Aintree is equally strong for outdoor events, with extensive green space, hard-standing exhibition areas and the Red Rum Garden accommodating up to 5,000 guests. Complimentary parking for 1,800 cars and its own railway station also make the venue particularly practical for high-volume events.
