BELLEWSTOWN FESTIVAL
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT
Bellewstown Festival
The Races
The Summer Festival is a much more civilised affair with three days of quality jump and flat races to enjoy. Some of Ireland's best horses have competed here and this tricky track has unique undualtions and a kink in the bend before the finish which takes a good bit of skill to negotiate correctly.
The races take place each evening, usually starting about 5pm each day, and finish just before 9pm with top quality Food, Fashion, Music and entertianment throughout the day and live bands after racing.
Bellewstown Festival
The Experience
The Bellewstown Festival is renowned for an electric atmosphere, thrilling flat and jump racing and a fabulous vibe on all three evenings.
Bellewstown is an "old style" traditional festival race meeting with Ice Cream vans, Burger and fish and chip units and a fairground, which many adults love too!! As racing starts at 5:00pm each day Guests have plenty of time after a hearty breakfast to enjoy a visit to The many Meath stud farms, a variety of Traners yards or just to chill out before the day's excitement begins.
