ABOUT THE EVENT:
A showcase of jump racing is in store over five fabulous days where 12 grade one contests and over €3.3 million in prize money is up for grabs. Seasoned campaigners compete shoulder to shoulder with rookies and new names and this is where our champions are crowned and fresh talent emerges. It is truly a fitting finale meeting for our horses, trainers, jockeys and owners who have entertained us over the jump season.
Few sporting experiences compare with the raw energy of horse racing in Ireland. It is inherent in Irish culture and heritage. It is fast, it is tough, it is fiercely competitive but it is exhilarating, thrilling and passionate in equal measure. The energy from the track feeds the enclosures where the atmosphere is unbeatable. The soundtrack of cheering, chat, live music and bustling bars injects that festive spirit. Do not miss it!!
DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.

A Special Trip
Our son Graham had a big birthday and we wanted to give him something special. He decided he would like a trip to Dublin and in particular the Punchestown Festival. The trip was action packed from Day1 and very tiring but Marc, Simon and the team organised everything perfectly.
The visit to the National Stud was my particular favourite.

Well organised trip
Wonderfully well organised trip, so much packed in to two fantastic days of racing.
Visiting the legends was probably the highlight, seeing horses I'd won and lost money on over many years :)
