Celebrating a hen or stag night is all about creating unforgettable memories with friends before the big day, and there’s no better way to kick off the wedding festivities than with a Night at the Dogs.
With Greyhound Racing venues nationwide, we offer Hen & Stag Party packages that can transform an ordinary night out into a lively, fun-filled group experience that combines heart-pounding racing action with great food, drinks, and social buzz.
Across the country, from Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium in the Dublin to stadia in Cork, Galway, Limerick, Newbridge, Tralee, Waterford and beyond, venues offer dedicated packages tailored to the needs of large groups celebrating hen or stag parties. With racing typically getting underway between 7pm and 8pm, these events provide the perfect springboard into an enjoyable night out, allowing groups to enjoy the races before heading into town for the next leg of the celebration.
For groups looking for something special, our hen and stag packages are among the most popular. These range from casual admission offers with tasty finger food and drinks included, to more premium options featuring private suite spaces and reserved seating and race sponsorship (naming a race in honour of the Hen or Stag!), all adding an extra layer of excitement as guests cheer on the greyhounds.
More immersive dining options are also available, and our venues offer restaurant packages where groups can enjoy multi-course meals alongside their racing experience. Hen packages also feature celebratory touches such as a glass of Prosecco on arrival, group photos trackside, and reserved dining areas that make the night feel truly memorable.
For stag parties seeking a livelier, social atmosphere, crowd-friendly package, including house drinks and finger-food platters, create the perfect mix of racing, food, and group fun. Some offers even include betting vouchers for each guest, making the evening interactive and engaging for all.
What sets these Hen & Stag outings apart is that we not only offer packages that cater to a range of budgets and group sizes,but have venues across Ireland that are experienced at hosting celebrations that transition seamlessly from competitive race night action to vibrant social gatherings.
Whether you’re planning a relaxed supper followed by races or a high-energy party starter before hitting the town, greyhound racing provides a uniquely Irish backdrop to weddings’ pre-nuptial festivities. Find out more now on www.GoGreyhoundRacing.ie
