Red Mills Race Day 2023

The fashionistas will be out in full force at Gowran Park on the 18th February for the return of the annual Red Mills Race Day and Style Event.

Connolly’s Red Mills have sponsored this much loved race meeting for over 40 years, and the Style event which was added in recent years is a wonderful opportunity to get all dolled up and be in with a chance to win some pretty amazing prizes.

Hosted by stylist and presenter Marietta Doran in the Style Quarter at Gowran Park, visitors can enjoy fashion shows, style advice and the Red Mills pop-up shop where you can shop ‘til you drop.

The main event is the Best Dressed competition with a total prize fund worth over €1000.

This Red Mills Day, we will have three prizes up for grabs for our Best Dressed Competition.

Winner: overnight in the Hunters Yard at the luxurious Mount Juliet Estate including dinner in the hound restaurant.

Runner up: Handbag from Fairfax & Favor

2nd Runner up: Clutch from Fairfax & Favor.

Best Dressed Gentleman: €100 voucher for the Lord Bagenal Hotel.

With €1,000 worth of prizes to be won, and amazing fashion to be seen, the day can’t come soon enough!

Best dressed award is open to all ages and all genders, so come along and try your luck!

Open to ladies and gents of all ages, this year’s guest judge – radio presenter and content creator Nathalie Lennon will have her work cut out choosing this year’s winners and runners up – especially given the impressive turn out at last year’s competition.

The judges will be on the lookout for winners who are both super stylish and appropriately dressed for the time of year. Last years winner Megan Conlon wore a co-ordinating suit which she borrowed from her sister, with matching accessories which really set off the look and wowed the guest judge, weatherman and presenter Deric Hartigan.
