Irish National Stud and Gardens

We are thrilled to partner with the Irish National Stud & Gardens as the host venue for our inaugural Passport to Christmas event. Nestled in the heart of County Kildare, the Irish National Stud & Gardens is a jewel in Ireland’s rich equestrian crown.

Established in 1946, the Irish National Stud & Gardens has earned a global reputation for excellence in thoroughbred breeding. Home to some of the finest stallions in the industry, it plays a central role in producing world-class racehorses and is one of the top visitor attractions in Ireland.

The Irish National Stud and Gardens welcomes visitors to explore its scenic paddocks, beautifully maintained grounds, and the award winning, interactive Irish Racehorse Experience. Guests can meet some of the magnificent horses and learn about Ireland’s racing heritage.

Adding a unique cultural twist, the Japanese Gardens located on the same site are among the finest in Europe. Created in the early 20th century, these gardens take visitors on a symbolic journey through the “path of life,” told through winding walkways, bridges, and beautiful horticultural design.
