| INTRODUCTION |
The Leopardstown Christmas Festival is
always very well attended, especially the first day (St
Stephens Day), when large crowds start arriving from 10am to
this County Dublin race course.
The racecourse itself is only a 30 minute
drive from Dublin Airport, under normal circumstances, but you
must allow at least 90 minutes to get
there from Dublin City on busy racedays. The roads
surrounding the course are quite narrow and generally only a
single lane in each direction. There are several other
transport options open to you including Helicopter Flights
from Dublin. (See Below)
You can Pre Book your tickets on line from
the Leopardstown Web site HERE.
You can also arrange Restaurant Bookings and Table Reservations
direct with the course from their site.

| OUR RECOMMENDATIONS |
Whenever we have attended this meeting we always get to
the course by at the latest
11am. To leave it any later will see you sitting in
heavy traffic for a long time. If you are travelling a long
distance you would be well advised to stay in a local Hotel
and ask them to arrange your transport to the course for you.
(See Below). The above said you will enjoy the high quality
racing and the great cráic (fun) to be had here. Well worth
attending. | |
