The highlight of the pre-Christmas racing calendar in Ireland is undoubtedly Day 2 of the Fairyhouse Winter Festival which promises a truly spectacular day of top-class National Hunt racing. This is where champions are made and racing history is written, as some of the finest horses, jockeys, and trainers come together to compete on one of the most iconic stages. With 2 Grade 1 races and the addition of a €100,000 Handicap Hurdle, this is a day you will not want to miss!
Buses run from Dublin City Centre with Marathon coaches, along with local transfers to and from Fairyhouse Racecourse. Shuttle buses will also operate from M3 Parkway.
