Limerick’s Greenmount Park will stage seven race meetings across May, June and July.
“We are bursting for the off,” enthused Limerick General Manager Emma White ahead of two upcoming Twilight evening meetings on Thursday/Friday May 26/27.
“Racing at Limerick in the Summer go hand in hand, and always have. We have put in place what are special days’ racing, from our BBQ Evenings, one of which features the brilliant Nathan Carter, to Ladies Day. “
At the heart of Limerick’s Summer Programme is Ladies Day on Saturday afternoon, June 11.
Celebrated stylist Celia Holman-Lee will showcase the latest fashion from local boutiques such as Newcastle West outlets Ela Maria and Kimono, Lady Penelope (Adare), White Feather Boutique and Glitzi Bitz, both Limerick.
“Personally, I love a day out at the races and what a fantastic amenity in Limerick Racecourse that we have on our doorsteps,” commented Ms. Holman-Lee. “I’ve been going to the races at Limerick for a long number of years now, and my enthusiasm for the races has never waned over all that time. It’s great that we can finally have another Ladies Day at Limerick.”
Best Dressed will be judged by TV presenter Meghann Scully, with some wonderful prizes courtesy of Keane’s Jewellers, The Limerick Strand Hotel and Hugh Campbell Hair Group.
An Afternoon Tea package for Ladies Day is a bargain €35.
Regeneron Family Raceday has been announced for Friday June 17, while there are three further Twilight outings across July (Thursday 7, Wednesday 20 and Thursday 21), with packages available from only €17. There will be live entertainment after racing on all occasions.
Country music’s brightest star, Nathan Carter, is lined-up post racing (8pm) on Thursday, July 7. It will be the Tyrone man’s first appearance at Limerick Racecourse in almost ten years.
