Love a day at the races?

Cathy Donohue

Summer racing season is in full swing, giving us the perfect excuse to get our glad rags on and have a fun day out.

There are a host of festivals happening the length and breadth of the country from now until September and there’s some pretty A-MAZ-ING Ladies Day prizes involved.

Ladies days are the perfect occasion to wear that special dress and show-off your own unique sense of style.
