Bringing the Heat to Fairyhouse
At WillowWarm, we believe in the power of Irish roots. Whether it’s the sustainable willow crops we grow in our own soil or the legendary thoroughbreds that thunder across the turf, there is a shared passion for quality, endurance, and heritage.
This Easter, we are incredibly proud to return to Fairyhouse Racecourse as the official sponsor of the Grade 1 WillowWarm Gold Cup.

A Gold Standard Sunday
Easter Sunday at Fairyhouse is more than just a race day, it’s Family Day. It’s a time for generations to come together, enjoy the fresh spring air, and witness world class sport.
The WillowWarm Gold Cup is the crown jewel of the day’s card. As a Grade 1 novice chase, it is where future legends are made. You only have to look at past winners like Galopin Des Champs and Al Boum Photo to see the calibre of athlete this race attracts. We can’t wait to see which rising star will add their name to that prestigious list this year.
Why WillowWarm and Fairyhouse?
