Valentines’ Day marks a very special time in The Irish National Studs calendar, that being the start of our breeding season.

Couples can enjoy the tranquillity of the Japanese Gardens and St. Fiachra’s Gardens  and discover the pure bliss of spending a day surrounded by thoroughbred horses.

“Love-Fuelled Activities”: Take one of tours which are scheduled daily at 11am and 2pm. During the tour you can learn all the romantic details of the industry as well as the reason why Valentines Day is such an important day in the breeder’s calendar. Following the tour, take part in our award winning ‘Irish Racehorse Experience’ where you can journey through the history of horse racing, naming, training, and racing your own virtual racehorse. Be sure to take a look at the gift shop afterwards where there are Ladies Valentines Gift Hampers Available!
