With the sun now shining, it’s safe to say we’re all salivating at the thoughts of our jam-packed 2022 social calendars. It’s hard to know where to start, but why not at the very beginning of the summer social calendar at– wait for it – the three-day Fairyhouse Easter Festival which takes place from 16th-18th April and includes the 150th running of the Irish Grand National on Easter Monday, April 18th.

Anyone who’s spent a day at the races can attest to what an amazing excursion it is for everyone involved. And let’s face it, the BoyleSports Irish Grand National is no ordinary race - it’s the daddy of all races, and what’s more, the Festival takes place over three glorious days from Easter Saturday to Bank Holiday Easter Monday.

Located at Fairyhouse Racecourse, this iconic Irish social event is already beloved to sports fans and social butterflies alike. And now it’s back once again to kickstart your summer social lives with three days of food, drink, fashion, racing and almighty craic for every member of the family.

Aside from all the, you know, horse racing shenanigans, there will also be the iconic Most Stylish Lady competition, this year sponsored by Dunboyne Castle Hotel & Spa, on the Monday. Get your sequins at the ready ladies, as this year’s theme is ‘vintage sparkle’. Did someone say ‘Swit swoo!’?

The festival also has some incredible live music scheduled to keep you bopping through the weekend – popular Irish rock band The Blizzards will hit the stage on Saturday, whilst Pilgrim Street are set to entertain crowds on Sunday and Monday.

The best thing about Fairyhouse Easter Festival is how terribly accessible it is to join the fun. The Bumper Bundle basically includes everything you need for a good time – not just admission but also a racecard, €5 Tote bet voucher, drink voucher and food voucher, starting from just €35.

If you’re operating on just a slightly lower budget, there are also individual day tickets available in advance for €20 (Saturday), €28 (Sunday) and €35 (Monday).

And there’s no need to fret over transport as there are many direct transport links available from Dublin operated by Marathon Coaches which leave from Georges Quay Dublin 2. (Outside the Ulster Bank) at 12.30 & 13.30 Saturday, Sunday & Monday – plus returns after last race for when your feet are starting to ache a little.

What are you waiting for? These obscenely good value online ticket offers are available for a limited time only – get your tickets here.
