One of Royal Windsor Racecourse’s most iconic fixtures is back – the unmissable Irish Night returns in 2026! It’s the perfect blend of thrilling flat racing, vibrant entertainment, and a true taste of the Emerald Isle, all set against the stunning backdrop of the River Thames.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be immersed in the lively atmosphere of an Irish night out! Alongside a full evening of action on the track, racegoers can enjoy an abundance of Irish music, dancing, food, and drink to create a celebration like no other.
Imagine the excitement of St Patrick’s Day – the Guinness flowing, the dancing infectious, the laughter non-stop – but this time on a warm summer evening at Windsor.
The excitement doesn’t end with the last race. As the sun sets over Windsor, the action shifts from the track to the stage with an evening of live music after racing.
This year’s headline act is still to be announced, but past Irish Nights have featured incredible bands such as The Biblecode Sundays and The Wild Murphys, who had the whole crowd clapping, singing, and dancing along.
Whether you’re a fan of authentic ballads or upbeat Irish rock, you can be sure the entertainment will be first class. Keep an eye on our channels for the big reveal – you won’t want to miss it!
What’s an Irish night out without a proper pint of Guinness? Our dedicated Irish bars will be pouring the black stuff all evening, alongside a wide selection of lagers, ciders, bitters, and spirits. If you prefer something a little lighter, there are also plenty of soft drinks and summer cocktails to enjoy.
Tuck into hearty pub classics, festive Irish-inspired street food, or indulge in sweet treats as you soak up the lively atmosphere.

For something truly special, why not arrive in style? Our Riverboat Package with French Brothers offers a scenic cruise from Windsor Town Centre directly to our private racecourse jetty. Step off the boat and straight into the buzz of the raceday, before cruising back to town after the last song and dance.
