Irish Champions Festival with Race and Stay

TICKETS & HOSPITALITY

Please collect your race tickets from our Guest Desk each morning. Your tickets included in this package for all days racing are General Admission. When you arrive at the racecourse entrance you will have your ticket scanned and you are free to enjoy your day. Premier Level and Hospitality guests will be escorted by our staff to the area they are booked into.

AT LEOPARDSTOWN

Both days will be very busy but great fun. For General Admission guests there are several food and drinks outlets outside and inside the grandstand. Live entertainment will be on before, during the afternoon and after racing so if you want to stay on, please do, but let your guest manager know so we can eliminate you from the coach return journey.

WHAT TO WEAR

There is no formal dress code on Irish Racecourses but no sportswear or anything offensive. Hospitality guests do tend to dress up more than others so for the Ladies, if you want to “glam up for the day” please do so, but do also dress for the weather. For the Gents, smart casual always works in all areas but the main rule is to be comfortable and warm in what you are wearng.
