#BeInvolved in the Fairyhouse Easter Festival from the comfort of home
WHILE we can’t go racing at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival due to pandemic-related restrictions there is still a lot going on amid home comforts, including three great days of top class racing to watch and competitions to win in the run-up to 3rd-5th April.
Happening right now online at #BeInvolved is the Fairyhouse Easter Festival Bake Off, which took place at Dunboyne Castle in Meath Ireland with four would-be Irish bakers. Legendary Irish jockey and author Barry Geraghty took on the Irish Racing Post’s editor David Jennings and top trainers Noel Meade and Jim Dreaper at the historic hotel and spa with Executive Head Chef John Burke, who put the fearsome foursome through their paces to produce the best Easter Chocolate Cake bake with sometimes hilarious results! Get the recipe online at https://www.fairyhouse.ie and answer the same ‘Bakers Brainteaser’ questions put to horseracing’s experts to win a signed copy of Barry Geraghty’s book, ‘True Colours’. The competition closes on 1 April.
A canvas signed by Honeysuckle’s trainer Henry de Bromhead and ‘Queen of Cheltenham’ Rachael Blackmore by cartoonist Darren ‘Birdie’ Bird is up for grabs with the purchase of the special Easter Afternoon Tea for Two from Dunboyne Castle Hotel and Spa. The click-and-collect or local deliveries competition can be entered online at https://dunboynecastle.clickandcollection.com/menus/fairyhouse-dunboyne-castle-easter-menu? with the purchase of the perfect Easter Treat for at-home watching of the festival.
