The fashionistas will be out in full force at Gowran Park on the 15th 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.
This Red Mills Day, we will have three prizes up for grabs for our Best Dressed Competition. Best Dressed Lady, Runner up, 2nd Runner up and Best Dressed Gentleman.
