HEADING to Punchestown next week?

The Irish National Stud is tempting you to call in and see its award-winning Irish Racehorse Experience with some special offers running from Tuesday to Friday.

To mark the fact that the stud won a ‘THEA’ (themed entertainment) award at Disneyland for the tourist attraction, visitors who pre-book a tour of the stud for next week will have their names entered into a draw to win €500 worth of stud merchandise.

By using the code THEA2023 in your online booking you can get 20% discount on all general admission bookings up to next Friday, and get 20% off any purchases you make at the stud.

Add in the chance to see ‘Living Legends’ Hurricane Fly, Faugheen, Beef Or Salmon and Hardy Eustace, and it sounds like a pretty good deal.

INS chief executive Cathal Beale said: “The international recognition the award gives to the Irish Racehorse Experience is wonderful and it enhances our world-class tourism offer. Horse racing and the thoroughbred racehorse are an integral part of the

tourism product in Ireland and the Irish Racehorse Experience brings this to life in an accessible, fun and imaginative way.”
