Fairyhouse Racecourse

Fairyhouse Racecourse lies at Ratoath in County Meath and is one of Ireland’s best-known National Hunt tracks, home to the Irish Grand National run each Easter.

The course hosts jump racing through the season, with a large grandstand, hospitality suites, bars and restaurants serving racegoers. The Easter festival is the highlight of the calendar and draws big crowds, but quieter fixtures offer an easier introduction to a day at the races. Ratoath is a short drive from Dublin, making the course readily accessible. Check the fixture list and book enclosure or dining packages in advance for the major meetings.
