Irish Ferries urges racing fans to visit Pembroke

Irish Ferries has invited horseracing enthusiasts to travel on its Rosslare to Pembroke ferry route to visit Britain's newest racecourse.

Travellers catching ferries to Pembroke will be less than an hour's drive away from the finishing post at the new course at Ffos Las, Llanelli in Carmarthen, according to the carrier.

Ffos Las is the first new-turf racecourse to be opened in Britain for more than 80 years.

A debut race was recently held at the venue, attracting a crowd of more than 10,000 people, and an official grand opening race event will be held on August 28th.

Other meetings will be held on September 13th, October 11th and November 8th, before a Christmas racing festival takes place on December 21st.

Irish Ferries offers two daily departures on its Rosslare to Pembroke ferry route, which enable travellers to get from port to port in under four hours.

The company also operates a Holyhead to Dublin ferry service and provides ferries to Roscoff and Cherbourg in France from Rosslare.
