The RCÉ/GRI Winter Racing Festival will light up Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium on Friday 27th & Saturday 28th November.
The Winter Racing Festival takes place during Shelbourne Park's Christmas Party season, making it the perfect opportunity for a festive night out with friends, family, colleagues or clients. Enjoy top-class racing, great food and drink offers and a DJ after racing as the celebrations continue into the night.
For those looking to make a real occasion of the Winter Racing Festival weekend, our Christmas Party Packages are also available on both Friday 27th and Saturday 28th November.
Enjoy the excitement, the racing, the passion & the food with reserved seating for your group and Tote & Drinks service straight to your table.
Your Admission to racing is included and with your restaurant party package you will also enjoy:
🎄 A sparkling festive welcome with a glass of bubbles on arrival
🎄 A delicious 4 Course festive Dinner
🎄 Fun interactive entertainment throughout the evening with plenty of spot prizes
🎄 Reserved seating for your party with views of the racing action outside
🎄 Bar & Tote service direct to your table
🎄 After racing entertainment with a DJ to dance the night away
The restaurant at Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium is glass-fronted and tiered allowing views of the racing action for all your party, plus TV screens throughout for those close up view of the action.
If you'd prefer something more casual, our Food Hall and Cafe will both be serving food on the night with bars open throughout the building.
Be part of the excitement and the action in the stand and join us on general admission or check out one of our great group offers.
Prefer to talk about the options? No problem, get in touch with the team on sales@grireland.ie or call us on 01 525 3666
