    ENJOY A PROPER DAY OUT AT GOWRAN PARK RACECOURSE

    Gowran Park is situated close to many famed training and breeding establishments in the heart of County Kilkenny, just outside the village of Gowran on the old Dublin/Waterford road. The venue boasts stunning scenic views and hosts regular high-profile races over the jumps and on the Flat throughout the year. The racecourse is also home to a highly-regarded 18-hole golf course!

    Gowran Park is best known for staging the historic Thyestes Chase in January of each year, attracting bumper crowds to the extremely picturesque venue. Trials for the bigger National Hunt festivals at home and abroad take place at the course in mid-February and several stars of the Flat have also graced the turf there.

    Check out Gowran Park’s upcoming race meetings and experience a proper day out.
