Eventing, racing and point-to-pointing

Ireland is famed for hosting international three-day events in stunning locations with world-class riders. 

Don't miss...

• Punchestown, in the heart of  County Kildare horse-country, is often referred to as the Irish Cheltenham with its unique atmosphere and vast grounds. The National Hunt in April is a highlight.

• Blarney Castle, in the pretty village just outside  Cork City, provides the perfect backdrop for the Blarney Horse Trials in June.

• Necame Castle, in the lakelands of  Fermanagh, holds a two-star fixture in September.

• The Irish Derby meeting at the Curragh is the highlight of the Flat season in June. 

• And if you’re after a typical Irish day out then head to the fun-filled summer festivals at Killarney, Galway, Tralee and Listowel.
