The Connacht Hospitality Group are ready for a fantastic Galway Races Summer Festival, and they are offering lots of amazing events, offerings, and exciting entertainment throughout the seven days.
The Group’s several businesses throughout the city will be helping customers make the most of the week-long festival between July 31st and August 6th.
The Connacht Hotel, sponsoring the QR Handicap Race on the opening Monday of the summer races, will provide starter’s orders with its Racing for Rosabel event.
This will generate awareness and funds for Rosabel’s Rooms and provide plenty of enjoyment. A three-course luncheon, Aperol Spritz Garden Party in the newly opened The Aviary, best-dressed competitions, and transport to the Ballybrit Racecourse on select days will make for a fitting opening to Race Week 2023.
Since 2018, Racing for Rosabel has generated vital awareness and funds for Rosabel’s Rooms, the much-needed child-loss project that provides financial and therapeutic support to bereaved parents and families around Ireland.
Rosabel’s Rooms, in collaboration with Irish Hospice Foundation, was established by Suzanne McClean and Gary Monroe following the sudden and unexpected death of their 16-month-old daughter, Rosabel Monroe.
The Connacht Hotel promises an extravaganza of Races-related activities throughout the week, making it one of the ideal places to be.
On Monday and Thursday, a photographer will be available to snap some amazing photos. Make-up artist Alina Belova will provide on-site services from Monday to Thursday, while hairdresser Lydia McConville will also be available on the same days.
Televised races will be shown on screens throughout, and people can enjoy transfers to the racecourse on select days.
Elsewhere across the Group, HYDE Bar is the Home of the Galway Races Afterparty. Each day, a boozy brunch at HYDE will provide the ideal way to get into the mood at one of the city’s most elegant venues.
Throughout the week, live entertainment from Beggers Velvet, DJ Paul Belton, and others mean that race-goers can dance the night away after an evening of pulsating horse-racing action.
Plus, on the Sunday, HYDE will be hosting their ABBA Disco Brunch. HYDE Hotel also offers beautifully stylish bedrooms that would be ideal for relaxing after a day of socialising.
