From getting here and finding your way around to what to wear and what to expect on race day, here’s everything you need to know before you join us.

What Time Should I Arrive?

We recommend arriving early to make the most of your race day experience.

Gates generally open ahead of the first race, giving visitors time to explore the racecourse, enjoy refreshments and soak up the atmosphere before the racing begins.

Race times and gate opening details can vary between meetings, so please check the relevant fixture information before travelling.

Whether you prefer smart casual clothing or something more relaxed, we want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves.

For our Ladies Day and other fashion-focused events, many visitors enjoy dressing up for the occasion.

As Kilbeggan is an outdoor racecourse, we recommend checking the weather forecast and wearing suitable footwear.

Make a day or evening of it with a selection of food and refreshments available at the racecourse.

Whether you’re looking for a quick bite between races or somewhere to enjoy a drink with friends, there are options to suit a range of tastes.

For those planning a group outing or corporate event, hospitality packages are also available.
