The Punchestown Festival Vibe

There is nothing Like It !!

A showcase of jump racing is in store over five fabulous days where 12 grade one contests and over €3.3 million in prize money is up for grabs. Seasoned campaigners compete shoulder to shoulder with rookies and new names and this is where our champions are crowned and fresh talent emerges. It is truly a fitting finale meeting for our horses, trainers, jockeys and owners who have entertained us over the jump season.

Few sporting experiences compare with the raw energy of horse racing in Ireland. It is inherent in Irish culture and heritage. It is fast, it is tough, it is fiercely competitive but it is exhilarating, thrilling and passionate in equal measure. The energy from the track feeds the enclosures where the atmosphere is unbeatable. The soundtrack of cheering, chat, live music and bustling bars injects that festive spirit. Do not miss it!!
