    Hi, there are a few of us coming up for the Friday of the Punchestown festival and we are staying in the Keadeen. Are we better off to spend the evening in Naas after racing or would there be any craic in Newbridge?
    Thanks, Fin.

    Stay in Naas. Punchestown festival might as well not be on at all in newbridge. If you were willing to pay for Keadeen, then why not try the osprey in naas instead. Not really comparing like with like but close enough to town centre.

    Definitely Naas, Friday is a big night. If there are a few of you, then a taxi shouldn't be too extortionate.

    Thanks lads. The Osprey was full, as were the other Naas hotels.

    Go to Naas - good buzz.

    Getting back to the Keadeen - get the green Dublin Coach. Runs 24 hours a day. Arrives in Naas at twenty past the hour i.e. 1.20, 2.20 etc. Fare is €2.

    Thanks, but I'd say it will be a case of staggering to a taxi to take us to the hotel.
    Actually does anyone know is there a shuttle bus to Naas from the racecourse?

    Naas is fantastic on the Friday night. If your going to The Court get there early. Pretty sure some of the local guys run mini buses to and from the course regularly.

    Taxi firms include Clancy's, A1, Olives. Think they're all still there. Probably missed a few as well.
