Fairyhouse Racecourse is one of Ireland's premier horse racing venues. Situated in the parish of Ratoath in County Meath. It is the home of the BoyleSports Irish Grand National. The first race meet was held in 1848. In 1870, the first Irish Grand National steeplechase was held here.
Many of the greats have graced the track including Arkle, Desert Orchid, Brown Lad, Flying Bolt to modern day heroes such as Hurricane Fly, Don Cossack and Annie Power.
The racetrack itself is a one-mile and 6.5 furlong right-handed circuit, with a 2.5 furlong straight and a slight uphill finish.
Home to the prestigious Irish Grand National and a mainstay
in Irish society and history, Fairyhouse Racecourse have been welcoming people
through our doors since 1848. A day at the races is ideal for a fun filled
family day out, birthday celebrations, company social events, entertaining
clients or even just to catch up with old friends and maybe make some new ones.
If you have yet to experience the exhilaration or race day
in full swing, you really are missing out. Feel your pulse beat faster, hear
you heart beat louder as the horses thunder down the famous Fairyhouse home
straight to the roar of the crowds.
Fairyhouse is one of the most modern facilities in the
country and we look forward to welcoming you to the course for many more years
to come.
