We are big fans of Laura Nolan’s fashion!
She’ll be putting her sartorial knowledge to good use for this year’s Racing for Rosabel.
The countdown is on for Racing for Rosabel 2026, with organisers announcing an exciting judging panel and an incredible €8,500 Best Dressed prize fund.
Now in its eighth year, the event takes place on Monday, 27th July at The Connacht Hotel, Galway, and has become one of the highlights of Galway Race Week, bringing together fashion, entertainment and fundraising in support of Rosabel’s Rooms.
This year’s Best Dressed competition will be judged by Laura Nolan, alongside Fiona Morgan Coleman and leading fashion stylist Caroline McElroy.
Guests will compete for prizes worth more than €8,500, generously sponsored by Canella Lane, Dr Laura Clinic, Louis Copeland, Bellissimo, Anú Wellness Hub, Edel Ramberg, Juvare Hair Care and Jenny Glow, with more exciting prizes still to be announced.
Dr Suzanne McClean, Founder of Rosabel’s Rooms, said: “Monday of Galway Race Week has become one of our favourite days of the year. It is always a genuine privilege to remember our little girl in a way that helps support other families bereaved by child loss. 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!
“We are beyond grateful to Caroline Downey of Carried Away PR who leads this event every year and to our very generous sponsors and supporters. We are delighted to have Tracey Piggott back as our MC and to have a very exciting judging panel lined up for our 8th Racing for Rosabel event.”
Rosabel’s Rooms was set up by Suzanne and her husband Gary Monroe after the passing of their daughter, Rosabel.
In collaboration with the Irish Hospice Foundation, it 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.
