BOXPARK Liverpool will return to The Randox Grand National Festival in 2026 after agreeing a new multi-year partnership.

The return follows its debut in 2025, when BOXPARK emerged as a popular destination with racegoers on site. Once again located in the Festival Zone next to the Aintree Pavilion, BOXPARK will operate as a bespoke social space across all three days of the Festival, offering a mix of bars, street food and live entertainment for thousands of guests.

The BOXPARK area will feature a full programme of DJs and live performances across the three days, alongside interactive activity and on-site entertainment, providing racegoers with an alternative place to spend time between races.

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 are looking forward to building on that success in the years ahead.”

The announcement comes just days after it was revealed that O Beach Ibiza will make its Merseyside debut with a location on site at the Randox Grand National Festival.

Alongside its on-course presence, BOXPARK Liverpool will also deliver a programme of off-site events across the city, including pre-race brunches, post-race parties and family-friendly experiences, extending the Festival atmosphere beyond Aintree.

Matthew McMillan, Development Director at BOXPARK, said: “After such an incredible response last year, we are 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 are 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 is all about creating a full experience for racegoers. The Randox Grand National Festival is such an iconic event in Liverpool, and we’re proud to be part of it once again.”
