For race day fans and fashionistas, there’s only one city on the map next week: Galway. Galway’s iconic races run from Monday 25th July to Sunday 31st July and the fashion highlight of the week – Ladies Day – falls on Thursday.
It’s an important day for local fashionistas and boutiques and the style available in Galway was showcased at a recent preview event at the Galmont Hotel in the heart of Galway city. It’s a dream base, especially for those who follow fashion, not fillies, next week.

- After the Galway Races, the Galmont is offering an attractive “Best Friends Getaway” package from €225 per room and per night. it includes two nights’ bed and breakfast for two adults, a three-course meal at Marinas restaurant one evening, two cocktails each at Coopers Bar & Lounge and free access to the leisure center with swimming pool, gym, sauna, jacuzzi and outdoor whirlpool.
