The legendary Galway Racecourse plays host to 13 race days annually including the Summer Festival which is internationally recognised as one of the greatest race meetings in the world.

Known locally as “Race Week” the Festival draws hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world.

• enabling digital sales on-line
• increasing on-line revenue sales including from mobile devices
