Fethard is a town famous for its horsemanship and medieval history. Encircled by medieval walls and steeped in equestrian excellence, it has long been at the heart of Ireland’s thoroughbred story. This experience offers a deeper connection to the town, blending history, horse racing, and exceptional local flavours.

Your journey begins at the Fethard Horse Country Experience, set within the beautifully restored 17th-century Tholsel building. Here, the stories of Horse Country come to life, tracing the town’s evolution from a medieval settlement to a globally recognised centre for thoroughbred excellence. Interactive displays, rare artefacts, and personal tales from breeders and jockeys offer a unique insight into the world of horse racing.

After a morning of discovery, enjoy a delicious two-course lunch at Sadler’s Restaurant, a favourite among locals and visitors alike. Set in the heart of Fethard, Sadler’s celebrates the best of Tipperary’s produce, offering seasonal fare sourced from the surrounding countryside. Whether it’s fresh Angus beef, tender Irish lamb, or a perfectly crafted dessert, each bite reflects the rich flavours of the region.
