Green_Tide_Rising Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 There is a tram / train thing that will take you from the city center to the race course too, costs about 5 euro That just confirms my attendance even more Get the Luas (Tram) from St Stephens Green (city centre) to the "Sandyford" stop. That should take about 16 mins ....the you can either walk to racecourse from sandyford (15 mins) or get the number 114 bus to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaggisNeepsNTatties Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 There is racing every Thursday at Leopardstown during the summer. Don't expect any high standard of racing but there will be a band playing afterwards on an outdoor stage with drink a plenty.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyramid Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Heading to leopardstown in 2 weeks time for the trials day. Have been before and it's 10 minutes on the train, or get the airport bus out, stops at the bewleys hotel. Costs 14 return for bus, but not much night life about, but some good restsurants round the shopping precinct. Entry as said is usually 20, or 40 for top entry, recommend the hospitality.

Dave78 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Who the hell are Aslan hahaha Huge band in Ireland... and nowhere else. I saw Ash a couple of years ago there (i live about 5 mins away from the racecourse). Was great craic. It's a great setup they have. The 55 euro restaurant deal looks worth it, i'd go for it.
