The Most Unexpected Girls’ Night Out Is On This Saturday
Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium is hosting a 'Ladies Night' on August 22nd, coinciding with the quarter-finals of the Irish Greyhound Derby. The event aims to attract a broader audience by combining racing with cocktails, music, and social activities.
Why it matters
Traditional sporting venues are increasingly diversifying their offerings to remain relevant and attract younger, social-focused demographics.
If your ideal girls’ night out involves a little glamour, a few cocktails, great music and just enough excitement to keep you on your toes, we have a suggestion for Saturday night: Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium.
On Saturday 22nd August, Ladies Night is bringing a seriously fun twist to the third round of the 2026 BOYLE Sports Irish Greyhound Derby, with the quarter-final action taking centre stage - but, importantly, this is an evening that is about far more than racing!
Think cocktails, bites, DJs, live music and a buzzing crowd, all wrapped up in the atmosphere of one of Dublin’s most iconic sporting venues.
If it’s been a while since you last visited Shelbourne Park, prepare to see it in a whole new light.
