The fashionistas will be out in full force at Gowran Park on 14th February, as the annual Red Mills Race Day and Style Event returns with a romantic Valentine’s Day twist. Connolly’s Red Mills have proudly sponsored this much-loved race meeting for over 40 years, and the Style Event—introduced in recent years—offers the perfect excuse to dress up, turn heads, and fall a little bit in love with fashion.
This year, the celebrations are even sweeter, with a special couples’ prize added to mark Valentine’s Day—making it the ultimate date day for style lovers, whether you’re attending with your partner or your favourite plus-one.
Hosted by stylist and presenter Marietta Doran in the Style Quarter at Gowran Park, guests can enjoy inspiring fashion shows, expert style advice, and the Red Mills pop-up shop—so you can truly shop ’til you drop and treat yourself (or your Valentine).
