“Barberstown Castle brings a timeless elegance that complements the thrill of our racing. We’re looking forward to an unforgettable day of sport and entertainment, and to building a strong relationship for the future.”
The June 12th event will not only feature high-quality racing but also live music, family-friendly entertainment, and exclusive hospitality options as part of the Bulmers Live at Leopardstown series, which runs throughout the summer.
