Just like the horses, hospitality at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby Festival will be world class!
Management have really dialed up on the food offering with a very strong emphasis on sustainable, 100% biodegradable packaging made from seaweed and sourcing fresh Irish produce where possible.

The venue will welcome over 1,500 hospitality clients from at least 50 companies coming from 12 individual countries who will be served by 28 chefs and 435 hospitality staff.
