THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT
The Racing is AMAZING
Fairyhouse
Fairyhouse Easter Festival runs from Saturday 4th - Monday 6th April 2026. The two best racing days to attend for race fans are the Sunday, for the iconic Fairyhouse Gold Cup. And Monday for Ireland's richest jumps race, The Boyle Sports Irish Grand National, the highlight of the weekend. If you are going for more of a party type experience then Saturday is for you. Fairyhouse is all about the races but plenty of space, Top quality Hospitality, Casual food and plenty of Bars and Toilets on course make it a very comfortable guest experience.
