Tramore Racecourse

Located 15kms from Waterford city, Tramore racecourse is where ‘the turf meets the surf’ and it is one of the most intimate stages for racing in Ireland. The 4-day August racing festival 17th –20th (incorporating 3 evening meetings) has everything a summer racing festival should have: sun (usually), sea, sand, and spectacular racing. It offers a great opportunity to take a racing holiday because of the great amenities in Tramore, one of the premier seaside resorts in Ireland. Enjoy some serious craic at the track over the four days featuring BBQ Evenings, Style Evening, and a Family Fun Afternoon where you won't have to work so hard to keep the children amused before or after the racing because they are so well entertained during the afternoon. Waterford people in general are an enthusiastic racing crowd and this, coupled with a strong following from surrounding counties, ensures a good atmosphere at all the meetings. The Inside Track bar has a cosy, intimate atmosphere with a large conservatory and there is always live music after the racing. Food options include The Bistro, The Surf & Turf Grill and The Seahorse Cafe. The Graun Hill Suite is a beautiful multi-functional room, with panoramic views of Tramore Bay The racing is a mix of flat and jump races and all details can be found on
