THREE star judges including winner of Dancing with the Stars Ireland 2025, Laura Nolan will be judging the Best Dressed Competition at Racing for Rosabel 2026.

Now in its eighth year, the event takes place on Monday, July 27 at The Connacht Hotel, Galway, bringing together fashion, entertainment and fundraising in support of Rosabel’s Rooms.

Guests can look forward to a day of style, entertainment and fundraising while competing for an incredible collection of prizes worth more than €8,500.

Racing for Rosabel is a vital fundraiser for Rosabel’s Rooms, a charity founded by Dr. Suzanne McClean and Gary Monroe in memory of their daughter Rosabel.

In collaboration with Irish Hospice Foundation, the charity provides financial support, therapeutic services and grants to families who have experienced the death of a child or young person up to 21 years of age.

“Monday of Galway Race Week has become one of our favourite days of the year,” said Dr Suzanne McClean.

“Racing for Rosabel brings together an incredible community of people who believe in making a difference and they do so with an incredible sense of style!
