Limerick Racecourse has officially announced the launch of the Irish Cheltenham Raceday Experience, a unique festival-style racing and hospitality event designed to bring the atmosphere of the Cheltenham Festival to Irish racegoers.
The Irish Cheltenham Experience will be the only racecourse in Ireland to host live racing on the track during the Cheltenham Festival, creating an immersive, festival-driven racing occasion for racing fans and corporates. In addition, we have an 8 racecard on the day.
The event is being developed as a fully immersive experience, combining live racing, premium hospitality in our ‘Cheltenham Lounge’ and a packed entertainment programme. Planned elements include a Legends Parade celebrating local Cheltenham victors, a pre-racing Tipster Panel Discussion before the racing focused on the Thursday and Friday of Cheltenham along with further and a full race-day festival atmosphere throughout the venue. Keep an eye on Limerick Racecourse socials for updates.
Racegoers will also enjoy live music immediately after racing concludes, transforming the event into a full-day and evening social experience.
Speaking about the launch, CEO of Limerick Racecourse, Michael Lynch said:
“The Irish Cheltenham Raceday Experience is about creating something truly special for Irish racegoers. By combining live racing, immersive festival elements and premium hospitality, we’re delivering an experience that captures the magic of Cheltenham while creating something uniquely Irish. We are keen to grow this into a marquee raceday in this part of the country in the coming years.”
