Bellewstown Festival

Bellewstown is a unique and exciting racecourse with a long history. Located atop the Hill of Crockafotha, in County Meath. Made famous by King George III who sponsored The Kins Plate in 1780 and more latterly by legendary gambler Barney Curley who instigated the Yellow Sam plot in 1975 by blocking the use of the phone lines from the phone box still on site today.

The Summer Festival has three days of quality jump and flat races to enjoy. This tricky track has unique undualtions and a kink in the bend before the finish which often catches an inexperienced horse and rider out so course form can be key. The races take place each evening, usually starting about 5pm each day, and finish just before 9pm.
