Following a standout debut in 2025, BOXPARK Liverpool has confirmed it will return to The Randox Grand National Festival 2026, and it’s promising an even bigger, louder and more electric experience at Aintree Racecourse.
Working in partnership with Aintree Racecourse and The Jockey Club, BOXPARK will once again take over the Festival Zone next to the Aintree Pavilion, transforming the space into a purpose-built, all-day party destination across the iconic three-day event.
Set to welcome thousands of racegoers, BOXPARK Liverpool’s pop-up will deliver its signature “Eat, Drink, Play” energy with buzzing bars, street food favourites and back-to-back live entertainment, creating one of the most vibrant social hotspots of the entire festival.
Expect feel-good disco, house and party anthems spun by some of Liverpool’s most recognisable DJs, alongside interactive moments, giveaways and surprise performances designed to keep the atmosphere high from first race to final celebration.
And the party won’t stop at the racecourse.
Alongside its on-site Festival Zone takeover, BOXPARK Liverpool will also roll out a packed programme of city centre events, including pre-race bottomless brunches, post-race afterparties and family-friendly experiences, giving racegoers and locals even more ways to be part of the Grand National buzz.
After setting the standard last year, BOXPARK Liverpool’s 2026 return is shaping up to be bigger, bolder and firmly cemented as a must-visit destination during The Randox Grand National Festival weekend.
Matthew McMillan, Development Director at BOXPARK, said:
“After such an incredible response last year, we’re excited to be returning to Aintree for 2026 and incredibly proud to be collaborating with both The Randox Grand National and The Jockey Club again. The atmosphere across the three days was unbelievable, and we’re looking forward to bringing that same energy back, but even bigger and better this time around.
“From our trackside venue to our city centre events, it’s all about creating a full experience for racegoers. The Grand National Festival is such an iconic event in Liverpool, and we’re proud to be part of it once again.”
Dickon White, Regional Director North West at The Jockey Club, said:
“BOXPARK made a real impact at last year’s Randox Grand National Festival, bringing a new energy that clearly struck a chord with racegoers. It quickly became a go-to destination on site, with people making a point of spending time there throughout the day. The mix of food, music and entertainment fits perfectly with the Aintree atmosphere, and we’re looking forward to building on that success in the years ahead.”
Further details on entertainment, traders and ticketing will be announced in the coming weeks.
