Athlone Towncentre hosts 13th Friday’s Most Stylish event at Galway Races
Athlone Towncentre is about to enter its thirteenth year leading the 'Friday’s Most Stylish' competition at the internationally-renowned Galway Races.
Taking place on Friday, August 1, from 4pm, Friday’s Most Stylish, sponsored by Athlone Towncentre, is expected to be one of the biggest gatherings of race going fashion lovers to date on the fifth day of the festival.
This year the prizes are better than ever with celebrity judge Kayleigh Trappe and head judge Marietta Doran seeking stand-out style with sustainability in mind from attendees on the day.
Kayleigh, a comedian and presenter, and Marietta, fashion stylist and racing style presenter, will seek out the most stylish efforts at Galway Racecourse on the day, with a focus as always on women who bring their own creative personal style to accessible high street pieces.
This year it is hoped entrants will restyle clothing or accessories they already have in their wardrobes.
Both judges will be joined by General Manager of Athlone Towncentre, Shirley Delahunt, who, along with Marietta, has formed part of the judging panel for the last 13 years.
The chosen judges have a keen eye for style due to their involvement with international fashion styling, race meetings and fashion retailing throughout their careers.
This year sees the biggest Prize Fund on offer to date for the competition winner with a 'shop and stay' break courtesy of Athlone Towncentre.
The lucky winner will leave Galway Racecourse with a €2,500 Athlone Towncentre Gift Card, a luxury two night break in the four star Sheraton Athlone Hotel in a Deluxe Tower Room with dinner and spa treatments, and a €500 voucher for Fields Jewellers, one of the many retailers located in Athlone Towncentre.
Athlone Towncentre is home to major fashion brands including Zara, River Island and H&M as well as boutique businesses. It is an ideal shopping destination with top brands and numerous food offerings under one roof catering to all tastes.
The highlights of the event can be viewed on the Athlone Towncentre social media channels.
