Festival Novice Hurdle

The Fairyhouse Easter Festival Novice Hurdle, currently run as the Paddy Kehoe Suspended Ceilings Novice Hurdle, is a Grade 2 National Hunt hurdle race in Ireland which is open to horses aged four years or older.

It is run at Fairyhouse over a distance of 2 miles and 4½ furlongs (4,023 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in April.

The race is usually run at the course's Easter Festival but in 2017 it was moved to a fixture in early April to avoid clashing with similar races at the Punchestown Festival.

[1] The race was awarded Grade 2 status in 2004.
