THERE’S still tickets available for the Listowel Harvest Racing Festival next week, but you better act fast because four of the seven days are sold out.
In compliance with current guidelines, only 2,000 spectators are allowed to attend each day of the celebrated festival which starts this Sunday.
Sadly, tickets for the most popular biggest days of the meeting — including Wednesday’s Guinness Kerry National Day and Ladies Day on Friday — are all gone, but style aficionados can still attend on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
