How Liverpool gets ready for the Grand National festival

For the first time since 2019, Aintree racecourse has welcomed racegoers back to the Grand National festival.

Thousands of people are expected to visit the city over the world famous three-day event, with millions of pounds to be generated for the Liverpool City Region economy this weekend. The eyes of the world will shine on our region once again and the work that goes into getting ready for starter’s order has been revealed.

From roads to rubbish, no stone has been left unturned by local authorities to ensure Aintree, the city centre and surrounding areas are looking their best. It is expected that an extra 40 tonnes of waste are likely to be collected in Liverpool City Centre alone over the course of the next three days.
