Friday and Saturday bring high-energy Bank Holiday crowds and standout fashion, while Sundayโs Mad Hatterโs Family Fun Day delivers a colourful, fun-filled finale for all ages.
A unique mix of top-class sport, entertainment, and atmosphere this is the highlight of the Irish summer. Donโt just hear about it. Experience it.
