Don't miss your chance to cross the finish line first this festival season

The Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby is more than just a race; it is a massive economic engine for Kildare.

From June 26th to 28th, over 23,000 visitors will descend upon the Curragh Racecourse and its neighboring towns. For local business owners, this surge in foot traffic represents a premier opportunity to showcase your brand to a global audience.

To help you capitalise on this festival atmosphere, the Local Enterprise Office Kildare is launching a specialised support initiative designed to make your shopfront a winner.

Master the Art of Visual Merchandising

It starts with the right skills. On Tuesday, May 19th, join us at GATHER, Market Square, Kildare Town, for an intensive Retail Visual Merchandising Workshop.

Running from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, this session provides the practical knowledge needed to transform your window into a high-converting display that captures the Derby spirit.

One-to-One Expert Guidance

The support doesn’t end in the classroom. Upon completing the workshop, a professional visual merchandiser will visit your business for a one-to-one consultation.

They will work directly with you to optimise your specific space, ensuring your shop stands out in the crowd.placeholder image
