The Curragh is home to one of three racecourses in Kildare, Curragh Racecourse. Set along the Curragh Plains, it is an unforgettable race experience. Not only is it a great visit on race days but also on non race days for the Curragh Behind the Scenes Tour which allows you to experience elements of racing you never have before!

The Visitor Centre at Newbridge Silverware showcases much more than just the beautiful cutlery, jewellery and decorations, as it also plays host to the Museum of Style Icons, displaying the dazzling dresses of some of Hollywood’s most famous, and infamous. Domo’s Emporium is the perfect place for a spot of afternoon tea following your mosey around the museum.

The Keadeen Hotel in Newbridge is one of the best in the area, with beautifully decorated rooms, friendly staff, a great leisure centre and a top-class restaurant. The gardens on site are gorgeous, and the hotel has proven to be very popular for weddings, no doubt in part to the picturesque setting. It is a great option for spending the weekend in Kildare after racing in the Curragh with the distance between the two at less than a 5 minute drive!

On the edge of Newbridge along the River Liffey lies Liffey Linear Park. Great for a walk outdoors or perhaps a picnic with friends and family.

There is live music every Saturday, Sunday and Monday with additional events throughout the year. Our Garden Bar is a fully heated smoking area to maximise comfort to our guests on colder evenings.
