Leopardstown Racecourse to go behind closed doors for Christmas Festival
• No general public at this year’s Christmas festival
• Industry, Owners and members only permitted to attend
• Full refunds will be processed as soon as possible
Tim Husbands, Chief Executive of Leopardstown Racecourse, said:
“We have seen the rising case numbers nationally and locally reflected in our staff over the past few
days, a situation that has become increasingly concentrated over the past 24 hours and has forced us
to make this late decision. It makes it impossible for Leopardstown to provide a safe and enjoyable
experience for the general public and has led us to make the difficult call to close the festival to the
general public.
I know this will be hugely disappointing news to all of those who had purchased tickets in advance, as
it is deeply disappointing to the team here who have worked so hard in putting a fantastic festival
together. Our team will process refunds as soon as possible so please do not call or visit the racecourse
we will issue your refund in due course and no later than 28 days after the event. We appreciate your
patience in this matter.
Thankfully we still have the staff necessary and expertise to put on four brilliant days of racing from
Sunday which you can view on RacingTV and RTE.
