Stay strong - the long weekend is nearly here! It's been a long and lonely series of dull days since the new year began, but finally the sun is shining and fun outdoor events are starting to appear in the calendar.
This Bank Holiday weekend, we're all about embracing the great outdoors with all the family, and you won't find a better family day out this weekend than the one on offer at Fairyhouse.
For some alternative entertainment on Dublin's doorstep, check out a Family Funday at Fairyhouse, a huge playground for parents and kids alike. The first one for 2014 took place last weekend, and the action continues this weekend with one of the biggest events in the Irish Racing calendar. Racing enthusiasts will no doubt be keeping a close eye on the track for the
Boylesports Irish Grand National. Last year Liberty Counsel powered up the straight to give Mullingar trainer Dot Love and jockey Ben Dalton the victory of a lifetime, who knows what will happen this year! Easter Monday is also ladies day, so high fashion and high stakes make this day a truly special one. But the rest of the family won't be left out! As well as the racing action you’ll find a fairground, face painting, a bouncy castle and loads of open space. Mums and dads will enjoy the best and most exciting racing so far this year in Ireland.
Peter Roe from Fairyhouse said "We're issuing an open invitation for all families to come out and experience the best fun you can have together just 15 minutes from Dublin out in the beautiful rural Meath countryside. People are always so surprised when they discover how close we are to the city and our undiscovered gem of a venue is so competitive compared to all the other family attractions especially as all kids are free and the parents actually get to have fun too!"
