Conferences > Conference Ambassadors > Aintree Racecourse
If you are searching for a truly prestigious location for a conference, exhibition or meeting. Aintree Racecourse, the home of the Grand National is the perfect venue. From the second you arrive, there's a sense of history, excitement and sheer achievement.
Our location, just minutes from the motorway network and from the vibrant city centre of Liverpool, makes Aintree an increasingly popular and user-friendly events venue. Our facilities cater for event of all sizes, with rooms to suit a small executive meeting, a product launch or a major conference. We can also offer an expansive exhibition hall, complete with vehicular access and 30 glass-fronted syndicate rooms, overlooking the famous course.
Already looking to the future, Aintree is currently expanding its facilities, which will see two new grandstands built for use in 2007, expanding Aintree's conference capabilities. A new purpose built equestrian centre will be launched in 2007, at the same time as the two new grandstands. It has a 4000 seat capacity with 3700 sq metres of exhibition space.
