We just love Punchestown and are already looking forward to heading back in 2026. 

 

In 2025, our guests enjoyed stable visits to Barry Connell and Ross O’Sullivan’s yards along with a lovely morning at the Irish National Stud. 

In 2026, we are offering even more options, let us know what you require and we will accommodate. All our packages offer a Stable Visit and an option to visit the Irish National Stud.

 

The “finale” meeting of the Irish Jumps season where the Champion Owner, Trainer and Jockey are crowned is the pinnacle of Irish Jump Racing.

The 5 Day Meeting in County Kildare is a draw for the very best owners and trainers from both sides of the Irish Sea. With its unique mix of racing, live entertainment and the finest food and drink, Punchestown Festival is a must for all National Hunt Racing fans.
