Gowran Park racecourse is situated in Co. Kilkenny. Set in a beautiful rural setting, it stages a couple of fairly high-profile and valuable national hunt races – notably the Thyestes Chase and the Red Mills Chase.
Getting there
Gowran Park is a 90 minute drive from Dublin airport. Situated off the M9. The nearest train stations are Kilkenny and Thomastown, where you can get a taxi for onward travel to the course.
If staying in Kilkenny, there is a complimentary bus service from the gates of Kilkenny Castle.
Accommodation& Food and drink
Loads of options in Kilkenny, from the 5* Lyrath Estate: https://www.lyrath.com/ to very lively popular options such as the River Court Hotel: https://www.rivercourthotel.com/ where we stayed. A large hotel by the river, in the centre of Kilkenny, adjacent to the shops and bars.
Kilkenny has an abundance of good bars and boutiques too.
It’s well-served on the eating front, including the Michelin starred Campagne where we dined: https://www.campagne.ie/
Racecourse
A really well-kept course, which makes an instant positive first impression. There are ample bars and hospitality options overlooking the course. For non-hospitality punters, everything from soup and sandwiches, to hot roast beef rolls and carvery lunches. Please see here for more information: https://www.gowranpark.ie/
The parade ring is at the farthest end from the entrance. It’s not overly big, so for the big races, get your position early.
There is very limited seating within the stand on the big days, so be prepared to stand. Also, on days like the Red Mills Chase day, there inevitably will be queues for everything. These days attract practically everyone in Carlow and Kilkenny and beyond! Serious crowds.
On the bigger days, Red Mills who are key sponsors of the racing, have a pop-up shop on course, selling brands such as Fairfax & Favor, Welligogs, Dubarry and other similar country attire.
General vibe
Country Fair type atmosphere, all types of punters, generally from the local area and adjoining counties. There is a best-dressed competition on Red Mills and Thyestes days.
Summary
A great day out in gorgeous countryside. Has a character all of its own.
Beautiful Longchamp in the Bois de Boulogne. I was a frequent visitor to the old Longchamp and in the interests of transparency, have only visited the new Paris-Longchamp, once – and in the year it re-opened in 2018.
The magnificent Notre Dame de Paris – 2018, before the fire
Getting there
Paris-Longchamp is easily reached by free ‘navettes’ (courtesy shuttle buses) on Arc day, which depart from opposite Porte Maillot. Porte Maillot is a congress centre, as well as being the dropping off/collecting point for Ryanair passengers to get to and from Beauvais – just in case you know that, as a general marker.
After racing on Arc day the navettes will be under pressure and you will probably have to wait a while to get back into central Paris, but no longer than about 20-30 minutes.
On other racedays, the venue can be reached by bus/ metro/on foot/cycling etc.

Convenient districts in which to stay
Paris is divided up into a group of districts – or arrondisments. The 8th, 16th & 17th are the recommended ones, to have closer proximity to Porte Maillot and therefore Paris-Longchamp. The 8th would generally be the more expensive as it includes the Champs Elysees and surrounds.
If you are looking for a good-value, centrally located hotel off the Champs Elysees, I would recommend Hotel Elysees Ceramic: https://ceramic-paris-hotel.com/en/ Step out the door and the Arc de Triomphe monument looms before you.
The actual Arc de Triomphe
Racecourse
The new structure now has 3 enclosures – the cheapest one having no visibility of the finish line, or access to the parade ring. There are a variety of different options and hospitality packages which you can check out here: https://www.parislongchamp.com/en/qatar-prix-de-larc-triomphe

In 2018, we paid about €70.00 per ticket, which we did get discounted by 50% – for the equivalent of a members or club type experience. Unfortunately Paris-Longchamp had not accurately assessed how much Irish & British visitors drink and consequently the facilities fell down in every area, from lack of bars, toilets and places to sit. Perhaps there was a higher than usual attendance of this cohort that first year of the new facility, as everyone wanted to see it and perhaps that led to the underplanning. Overall it was a bit of a disaster and we took refuge in one of the restaurant areas in the cheaper enclosure, as that didn’t appear to be as over-subscribed as the rest of the venue.

My understanding is that in 2019, significant improvements were made in all the areas above. I look forward to an Arc day there in the future.
One think that has stuck in my head, was the use of wood for the stand – presumably in keeping with the wider wooded Bois de Boulogne area. It was a fairly damp, wet day in 2018 and if you had slightly impractical shoes on, it was very hairy walking up the steps, in terms of the slippage. Ladies beware!
General vibe
Parisians rarely go racing, but Arc day is one of those days that anyone who is anyone, shows up to show off in their finery. The vast majority of attendees will have made an effort, including all the international visitors, which include the Japanese of course. So jeans and casual clothes, won’t really cut it.
With the quotient of British visitors in particular, the atmosphere can get fairly lively, quite early on. There is also a fair degree of flag waving, with British, Irish and Japanese as well as French flags being brandished by certain racegoers.

There is genuinely a fantastic atmosphere, greatly enhanced by rousing music when the winner comes back in, which makes for a great experience, and genuinely gets the blood pumping. It is like a diluted version of Cheltenham, from the general anticipation and excitement point of view. With a card overflowing with group ones and arguably the best flat race in the world – you would need a heart of stone, not to be moved by the theatre of the occasion.
Entertainment – photo credit: Katherine Grace
It – like Cheltenham, has to be a must-visit for any racing fan, regardless of whether you like flat racing or not.

Summary
My understanding is that the other days outside of that 1st Sunday in October, are much more pleasurable affairs, in terms of enjoying the facilities. I believe there has been some progress in enticing the local community into some of the summer series evenings that they run. My plan before COVID-19, was to visit in July to attend the Grand Prix de Paris on Bastille day, however that looks unlikely due to the current guidance of President Macron with regard to outdoor events. I will update this page, once I have more current experience of a day out at the glorious Bois de Boulogne!
A fantastic dual-purpose track in Co. Meath. Has been much improved down the years and offers some great racing particularly over the jumps in the months leading up to Cheltenham.
Getting there
Navan is about 45 minutes from Dublin airport and can be reached by car and buses from Dublin City Centre on specific racedays.
Racecourse
Like the majority of racecourses in Ireland, well-managed and welcoming.
Ample bars and a separate coffee shop with slouchy sofas , there is also a cafeteria which serves up carvery dinner and sausage & chip type meals.
Navan stages an enviable programme of races including the Troytown & Fortria Chases, the Boyne Hurdle and on the flat the Group 3 Vintage Crop Styakes.
It’s always well-supported by locals and visitors from the North as well as the rest of Ireland.
It’s viewed as a good testing track for those heading to Cheltenham.
Tiger Roll on his comeback race, Boyne Hurdle – February 2020. He later went onto the Cross Country at Cheltenham and ran a valiant 2nd
Summary
You’ll have a great day out at Navan regardless of the calibre of racing. You’ll be well-looked after, in a relaxing laid-back environment.
Ah, the fabled Galway Races in the West of Ireland. The wonderful seven days of racing at the end of July, concluding the Sunday before the August bank holiday in Ireland. A mix of flat and national hunt, sometimes on the same card.
Getting there
These days with newer roads, Galway can be reached from Dublin in about 2.5 hours. The nearest international airport is Shannon, in Co. Limerick, with Knock airport in Co. Mayo, also offering flights to and from several destinations.
The bus and train stations are very centrally located off Eyre Square, which is the landmark spot of Galway, so no need for a taxi if staying in central Galway City.
Once in Galway City, there are continuous buses from Eyre Square to and from the racecourse. Ballybrit – the actual name for the racecourse is situated about 15 minutes’ drive from Galway centre.
Accommodation & general entertainment
Such is the enduing popularity of the festival, accommodation will be booked year in, year out, so you need to plan your trip well in advance. There is everything from 5* luxury hotels, to guesthouse and hostel type accommodation.
The Hardiman on Eyre Square, formerly known as the Meyrick
I plan to stay in Westport, Co. Mayo for this year’s festival – should it go ahead, which is just under an hour’s drive.
In terms of great bars, Galway is blessed with them and you won’t have too look far for entertainment. It also has a very sophisticated dining scene, with Michelin star establishments included: https://www.aniarrestaurant.ie/ You will struggle to have an inferior meal in Galway, unless you end up at Supermacs! – Nothing wrong with Supermacs at all though. Supermacs started in Galway and has since become a huge Irish fast-food success story. Excellent fodder after a day’s drinking. Galway has it all.
An Pucan off Eyre Square is a good all-purpose bar, it does food all-day including breakfast and has a large internal capacity. It’s a sports bar, so as well as the racing, it will have screens showing different sports: https://anpucan.ie/
Racecourse
In keeping with a lot of Irish racecourses, Galway has benefited from significant investment in recent years, and as a result has large capacity stands & extensive hospitality options.
The main days of the festival week are the Wednesday – Galway Plate day and the Thursday – Galway hurdle. If you like a crushing atmosphere with no-holds barred then these days are for you – particularly the Thursday. However there are some great lesser profile evening meetings, during the week, which are just as good to get a real taste of Ballybrit. The Thursday – there is usually a large contingent of local students out for the day, so it can be mayhem from early on, especially if it’s raining and everyone pours inside the stand.
Of course, fashion and style is very much a cornerstone of the whole Galway festival. A lot of ladies plan their outfits months in advance and the competitions are highly competitive, but not confined to ladies only – there are best-dressed comps. for men too, with very lucrative rewards for winners.
There is usually a flat entry fee of about €30 for flagship days such as Plate & Hurdle day, where you can avail of a seat for an additional €20 – recommended. Galway enjoys huge crowds, so you will struggle for comfort if not in a hospitality area. Please see: https://www.galwayraces.com/ for further information.
Loads of food and drink options, with a lot of the main fast food chains in Ireland having outlets too – Abrakebabra, Eddie Rockets for example, as well as offerings for the more discerning palate. Galway and the West of Ireland in general is renowned for it’s seafood, so expect to enjoy plenty of this, if that’s your preference.
Summary
Galway probably has more festivals than any other county in Ireland, including the racing one. As such the whole city has hospitality off to a fine art. The Ballybrit experience is ebullient, exhilerating and not for the faint hearted. It will not suit those that do not like crowds and raucous carrying-on! It attracts punters from all backgrounds – rural and city dwellers alike, as well as international visitors.
If you want a more comfortable West of Ireland racing experience, then I am reliably informed that the summer meetings at picturesque Ballinrobe, in Co. Mayo would be a good bet.
Kilbeggan is a pure National Hunt course, situated in Co. Westmeath in the Midlands of Ireland. It has been racing since about 1840.
Getting there
The nearest large town is Mullingar. Kilbeggan is about 90km from Dublin along the M4 and takes about an hour of driving. Kilbeggan the town has a few bars, shops etc. The racecourse is slightly outside of the town in a very rural area.
The season at Kilbeggan runs from May to September. See here for details of fixtures: https://kilbegganraces.com/
The racecourse has a certain charm, it is certainly not of this century! However, it is very well-managed and well-maintained. No detail overlooked. It still retains a lot of the relics of the Victorian, or some other bygone era at least, including the entrance turnstiles.
The management team tend to generate a party atmosphere, there is a live DJ, constantly playing, breaking only for the racing, which personally I found a little distracting mid-afternoon on a Sunday, but you can distance yourself from it!
The food on offer is very traditional and of the ‘sausage and chips’ and burger type variety. In addition there are mobile units selling other food and coffee too. If you’re looking for contemporary offerings, then you’ll be disappointed, but if you were seeking that – you would probably be missing the point and charm of Kilbeggan racecourse!
For all it’s perceived simplicity, the marketing campaign around Kilbeggan’s fixtures is obviously very slick, it attracts a good crowd – both local and blow-ins. It has all the coveted style competitions too.
Summary
An exceptionally well-managed course, surrounded by natural beauty, as well as staging quality jumps racing. A must visit, if just to pause 21st century life and take a little trip back to yesteryear.
Punchestown is in Co. Kildare, just outside of Naas. It is the home of the National Hunt festival, which occurs every year at the end of April – sadly 2020 withstanding. Each year it commences on a Tuesday (around 3.45pm) and runs through until Saturday. However the key races are run Tuesday to Friday, with the Saturday being billed as day for the locals/families. The program of racing is excellent, with grade ones aplenty and also featuring the traditional Cross-Country race over the banks.

Getting there
Punchestown is about 45 minutes drive from Dublin airport. You can also get to Naas by bus: https://www.buseireann.ie/ and via train from Dublin Heuston to Sallins (outside of Naas) and Newbridge (near the Curragh). See: https://www.irishrail.ie/
Accommodation
The nearest sizeable town is Naas. If visiting for the Festival, you would need to secure accommodation very early. Other places worth considering are Blessington, Kildare town, Celbridge. Other more far-flung places are Portlaoise, Athy and the outskirts of Dublin – for example Citywest Hotel: https://www.citywesthotel.com/
In Newbridge you have the Keadeen, which is a short distance from the Curragh racecourse: https://www.keadeenhotel.ie/ If staying in this area a trip to the Newbridge Silverware venue is highly recommended: https://www.newbridgesilverware.com/ As well as having a retail outlet and cafe, there is also an excellent free museum which showcases famous people’s outfits and other memorabilia. There is a great permanent exhibition of Audrey Hepburn garments, as well as those worn by Grace Kelly and Diana, Princess of Wales and much more.
The quintessential ‘LBD’ best worn by Audrey Hepburn. A temporary exhibit in 2016 at the Newbridge Silverware museum – the dress that Marilyn Monroe wore to sing Happy Birthday to President JF Kennedy, which subsequently sold at auction that year, for a record-breaking $4.8m
Eating and drinking
Most main towns in the County of Kildare, take part in the best dressed window, with the central theme being the Punchestown Festival.
As it’s such a revenue generator for the local area, most bars will offer live entertainment, so you won’t be lacking on that front.
The Osprey Hotel in Naas usually has a daily pre-raceday preview, with leading jockeys and commentators, tipsters etc. taking part.
The Ballymore Eustace Inn: http://www.ballymoreinn.com/ in the hamlet of the same name is a great spot for dining. Booking recommended.
Kilcullen has plenty of options too: Bardons: http://www.bardons.ie/ Fallons: https://fallons.ie/ Both highly recommended. The latter takes reservations, the former not.
Plenty of options in Naas to choose from, from Asian to Italian to locally sourced traditional offerings. The Lemongrass is a good easy option for Asian: http://www.lemongrassnaas.ie/
Pre-racing drinks, if you want to get away from the crowds in Naas, then Blessington is a good spot. Plenty of bars on the main street, where you will still encounter fellow racegoers, but will be able to breathe and hear one another talk!
If you are an overseas visitor and are unsure of where to base yourself, please contact me and I will be more than happy to advise.
Racecourse
If you are staying in Naas or the City Centre, there are a range of bus providers offering transport. Please visit: https://punchestown.com/ for more information.
In terms of ticket types, there are usually 2 levels – general admission which is about €30 per day and the reserved enclosure which is about €40 per day. You can get decent discounts for advance bookings. There are other hospitality options which you can view on https://punchestown.com/
Barry Geraghty in the parade ring
There is a shopping village, not on the scale of Cheltenham, but decent and with the usual outlets of paintings, sculptures, hats, country attire etc.
Punchestown has benefited from an investment programme which has added extra stand and bar capacity in recent years. Generally speaking it’s comfortable, but if you want to secure a spot for the day – early arrival is recommended.
Plenty of indoor and outdoor food offerings, everything from Irish fast-food options such as Eddie Rockets (burgers) to Abrakebabra (kebabs funnily enough…) to more finer offerings.
Rachael Blackmore, after winning on True Self, with the one of the 3 stands in the background
General vibe
Serious international racing figures attend, along with a large quotient of the more youthful local population on certain days and anyone else in-between. A real melting point of characters.
There is a daily best-dressed competition, with the final on the Friday of the week, so expect plenty of people decked out in their finery. However, anything goes – from novelty outfits, to more down-to-earth casual clothes.
It is reminiscent of a scaled down Cheltenham in terms of the party/drinking atmosphere, but not as raucous as aspects of the Cheltenham Festival can be.
Last year was a seminal year, when Ruby Walsh surprised everyone by announcing his retirement, after winning the Punchestown Gold Cup on Kemboy. There were great scenes to be enjoyed on this Wednesday.
Punchestown usually throws up an annual talking point, the previous year being Paul Townend taking the wrong course with the subsequent dual Cheltenham Gold Cup winner – Al Boom Photo.
Summary
A great few days for any hardcore National Hunt fan. A well-managed facility – you’ll have a highly memorable day or few days at this venue and for a fraction of the price of a trip to Cheltenham, with a higher degree of comfort and accessibility.
Listowel is one of 2 tracks in the County of Kerry, the other being Killarney. It stages 2 main festivals, one in June and the main Harvest Festival meeting in September. Both mixed cards.
Getting there
Listowel is in the North of the County of Kerry. It can be reached by car and a bus service on racedays. See https://www.buseireann.ie/ for details.
However Kerry, as a County has numerous options – Ballybunion, near to Listowel, then 40-45 minutes South – Tralee and Killarney and even Dingle. It just depends what you’re looking for, from your break.
Racecourse
Firstly beware of the public canteen area, it serves hot roast dinners and similar, but you are expected to stand and eat it on a bar height table. It’s far from ideal.
If you want to eat in a more civilised manner, you will have to pay for a seated 3-course lunch option in the restaurant. See here for more details: https://listowelraces.ie/
There are the usual mobile units selling local speciality sausages and similar.
Well-served with bars.
The Kerry National is the flagship race of the Harvest Festival in September, which is run on the Wednesday. Montys Pass was a previous winner of this, who of course went on to win the Aintree Grand National.
General vibe
Exceptionally popular, on the Friday of the Harvest Festival meeting in 2019, they attracted a crowd just shy of 30,000, which to put in context – the Irish Derby at the Curragh in the same year, attracted a crowd of about 12,000!
There is a Ladies Day and all the usual attractions for the kids, making for a day out for everyone.
Summary
The Harvest Festival meeting is like one big last hurrah, before the winter sets in. Fun to be had, whether you’re going there for a few drinks and the betting is a side issue, or whether you’re really into racing.
The Curragh is Irish flat racing’s headquarters. Situated in Co. Kildare, it re-opened in 2019 after a programme of re-development, which included the demolition of the old Victorian stand structure. A reduced calendar of racing was still staged at the Curragh in 2017 and 2018, including the Classics, with lesser races being temporarily loaned out to Naas & Navan.
It is also a world-class training centre and if you are interested, you can watch the thoroughbreds on the gallops each morning at various vantage points.
Curragh Gallops at Maddenstown
The new facility officially opened for business in May 2019, but was not without huge controversy and challenges for the first few meetings. By the time the Irish Champions weekend rolled around in September, it had re-gained some credibility with the racing public and there were high hopes for the 2020 season, until the Covid-19 situation scuppered the start of the calendar.
Getting there
The Curragh is about 45 minutes drive from Dublin airport. It can be reached by bus from Dublin City Centre and other places on big days. Please see https://www.curragh.ie/
The nearby village of Kilcullen has several high standard offerings, including Bardons: http://www.bardons.ie/ Fallons: https://fallons.ie/ & Crean’s Place – all of which I can vouch for.
If you want to grab a great breakfast or lunch prior to racing, Lucy’s Cafe: https://www.curraghcafebylucy.ie/ – which is on the racecourse lands is a great spot. It’s in the TRI Equestrian shop, which is to the right of the roundabout as you drive into the course.
Interior of Lucy’s Cafe at the Curragh
Racecourse
Home to all the Irish Classics, the new stand named the Aga Khan, as a nod to the lands and the finance that HH Aga Khan donated for the greater good of flat racing in Ireland. There are other high profile donors that contributed significantly, as well as the Irish tax payer.
Frankie Dettori after winning the Irish Oaks 2019 on Starcatcher
The stand is set over 4 levels. The lower ground area is a mix of bars, food outlets, betting facilities. The ground floor has a champagne bar which has an outside area where you can view the paddock. The first floor (based on 2019 detail) has a hugely popular Derby bar, which has an outside viewing area to the track. The 2nd floor is given over to members and private boxes and hospitality. However, I will update this information, once I have had the opportunity to visit the Curragh for the 2020 season!
There is also a separate walk-in bistro adjacent to the entrance turnstiles, which offers good quality sit-down hot and cold dishes.
On sunny days, there is plenty of garden furniture surrounding the paddock area, where you can relax and have a drink. You will see looming in the background an old grey tower structure, which is a building that dates from Queen Victoria’s day. This is known as the Queen’s room. On big racedays, there is usually a tour and talk by a local historian, on the background to this. During the re-development, this structure was painstakingly dismantled and put back together again, which was a great nod to the past and preservation.
In 2019 the stand was very much segregated and mostly empty because of the prevailing rules at that time. This caused much consternation and I believe for the 2020 season, there will be a much more egalitarian approach to the seating.
The seating itself is very comfortable – cushioned seating, such as that which can be found at the better premier league football clubs.
There is a food and drink village behind the ‘ring’ where local bars and restaurants showcase their wares, including Hartes of Kildare, which I would recommend for an apres-racing dinner: https://harteskildare.ie/
There is also an outdoor play area for kids and on big days, the usual face-painting and novelty characters walking about – Stars Wars figures for example, or whatever is the topical superhero of the time.
Parade ring and winner’s podium, with the Queen’s room in the background
General vibe
There are relaxed days and evenings at The Curragh, where casual dress will more than cut it. The main dressing up days are Derby day of course, The Guineas meeting (May) and the Oaks (July), as well as the Sunday of the Irish Champions weekend.
Summary
I have always loved The Curragh and really want it to succeed. It was very disappointing for all when 2019 was such a flop. There have been great days at The Curragh, including (more recently) Pinatubo winning the National Stakes on Ledger day in September 2019 and the staging of a one-off charity race to benefit the Pat Smullen Cancer trials initiative. Retired jockeys from the flat and jumps ranks, took part, with AP McCoy winning on Quizzical for Sheila Lavery – beating amongst others – Ruby Walsh, Paul Carberry, Joseph O’Brien, Johnny Murtagh and Kieren Fallon.
Watch this space for a further update on the general layout and facilities.
At the time of writing, Dundalk is Ireland’s only all-weather track, although I believe there are plans afoot for one in the Co. Tipperary region.
Getting there
Dundalk is in Co. Louth, situated about 50 minutes North of Dublin airport, and just across the border from Newry, Co. Down.
Racecourse
Car park very close to the stand – no trekking across fields! It’s a great facility – modern, spacious, set over 3 floors. Whoever planned the whole venue did an excellent job.
There is an area serving hot meals, plenty of bars and on the 1st floor you can watch the racing through the floor to ceiling windows. In keeping with the all-weather theme, there is limited room given over to an outdoor stand, although plenty of standing room on the flat tarmac below the stepped part of the stand. In the winter the ‘ring’ is inside too.
General vibe
It’s very much promoted as a Friday night party event for groups ‘Friday nights under the lights’ so can be quite lively, but there are also a lot of serious race fans in attendance too. There is usually a 9/10 race greyhound card after the horse racing finishes, so can be quite a night if you want it to be!
Summary
I would never have dreamt of going to the all-weather, but due to an involvement in a couple of horses, I have been about 6 times in quick succession and have had a fantastic experience each time (separate from the experience of having an interest in the 2 horses). The cost of food and drink is more than reasonable and looking at the promotional literature for the party group hospitality offerings, that appears great value too. Staff are switched-on and efficient and the venue is designed over a compact area, so would suit those with limited mobility – the parade ring is in very close proximity to both the stand and the viewing for the track.
A lot of horses that go on to dizzy heights had their first win at Dundalk including Caravaggio, so you never know what you might witness, on a relatively low-key outing.

This is a practical guide to horse racing tracks visited, reviewed from a practical and social viewpoint. It is not intended to be a technical guide to the characteristics of a given track. If you wish to learn about the nitty-gritty of individual track trends etc. you will find other sites more relevant to that objective.
It aims to advise on the optimum logistics of travelling to a new racecourse, where to eat, stay and other guidance on what to expect.
This blog will be a moving feast, with updates as new tracks visited and revisted.
