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 world renowned lively atmosphere of an Irish night out! Alongside a full evening of action on the track, racegoers can enjoy an abundance of Live Irish Music on Stage, Dancing Performances, Food, and Drink to create a celebration like no other. We will be joined by The Tumbling Paddies Band, offering one of the best live entertainment acts out there!
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 The Tumbling Paddies, coming over from Ireland, who will have the whole crowd clapping, singing, and doing the Irish Jig.
This isn't just live music, its a full on takeover. Weaving tradition with pure adrenaline, they turn every track into a foot-stomping, hand-raising, sing-at-the-top-of-your-lungs moment!
They've recently played at the Cheltenham Festival as well as selling out major venues across Ireland with one of the most exciting live experiences around. This one is guaranteed to be a high energy night out, you don’t want to miss out!
