Frequently Asked Questions

What dates is the Dublin Racing Festival 2027?

Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 January 2027 at Leopardstown Racecourse.

What is the Dress Code for the Dublin Racing Festival?

There is no official dress code at Leopardstown for the Dublin Racing Festival. Smart casual is recommended throughout the racecourse and is expected in all hospitality areas.

Practical advice for late January / early February:

Dress for cold, potentially wet and windy weather – layers, a good coat, scarf and practical footwear are essential.
Gentlemen: smart trousers, collared shirt and jacket preferred in hospitality.
Ladies: smart dresses, skirts or trousers with a stylish coat; many guests enjoy a hat or fascinator but it is not required.
Sportswear, trainers and overly casual clothing are not suitable, especially in the restaurants and suites.

The focus is on comfort and the racing – many racegoers still like to dress up a little for the occasion.

"“Booked hospitality for the Saturday of DRF and it was perfect. The Pavilion was great and had brilliant views of the final bend. The buffet lunch was excellent – proper Irish produce and plenty of it – and the table service was attentive without being over the top. Really easy process with Racing Breaks from start to finish. Will definitely do hospitality again next year.”"

Sarah M

"“We just wanted the racing and a good table and the 1888 Restaurant was right in the heart of everything – parade ring on one side, track views on the other. Food was a goo and the service was spot on all day. Felt relaxed but still special. Great value compared to some other events.”"

Claire

"“Excellent location with a private balcony looking straight down the finishing straight. The three-course buffet was very good and the suite itself was nice. Overall a really enjoyable day. Racing Breaks made the booking completely straightforward.”"

David

"“First time doing hospitality at Leopardstown and it couldn’t have been easier. The Molly Malone Banquet on the mezzanine level had a great atmosphere and the views were fantastic. Food was plentiful, the tipster was entertaining, and we had a reserved table for the whole day. Highly recommend.”"
