The Grand National makes its much anticipated return this week, with festivities kicking off on Thursday, April 7.
This year's event marks the first time people will be permitted to attend in person since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic caused dramatic upheaval to the events industry, with a vast array of events cancelled, postponed or altered in line with government-mandated restrictions.
Last year's Grand National was a televised affair, with fans tuning in to catch the action from their own homes. This year's event marks a return to previous form, with organisers keen to make it an event to remember.
