Leopardstown Summer Evening Racing

At Leopardstown Racecourse · Leopardstown Road, Foxrock, Dublin 18

Summer evening racing at Leopardstown Racecourse Dublin

Leopardstown’s summer evening race meetings are one of Dublin’s best midweek occasions. Flat racing under the summer evening sun, a relaxed social atmosphere, and a great option whether you follow racing closely or not.

What to Expect

Quality flat racing from 5:30pm with six or seven races through the evening. The atmosphere is easygoing - a mix of racing fans, after-work groups, and people just out for a good evening. Many meetings include live music, and the long Irish summer evenings mean there’s still light in the sky for most of the card.
