Kick-off 2018 with a winner at Fairyhouse

As the Festive season draws to a close and you’ve had your fill of turkey, there is still one more chance to indulge before normal service is resumed for most of us. Racing at Fairyhouse on New Year’s Day is fast becoming a new tradition for many and a staple date in the diary for many years for others. The hustle and bustle of the Leopardstown Christmas Festival is what comes to mind most for racing fans at this time of year; however the relaxed atmosphere of Fairyhouse on New Year’s Day and an environment embraced by race-goers of all ages is proving to be a popular pull for those looking to unwind after the hectic Christmas period.

The Bobbyjo Bistro offers a restaurant of top quality food and service, unique in that it overlooks both the home straight and the Parade Ring, with Tote facilities and a bar, there is actually no need to leave the comfort of your seat while still being able to take in all of the amazing atmosphere of a race day in full swing. If you have loved ones returning home for Christmas or are celebrating a special occasion then another option to make it that bit more special would be to hire one of the Private Boxes overlooking the finish line.

Of course many will just go for a day at the races, enjoy the fresh air and maybe work off some of the aforementioned turkey cheering home your horse with the rest of the hopefuls! All in all, New Year’s Day at Fairyhouse is definitely one not to be missed. For tickets and information see www.fairyhouse.ie
