Tips for Your Electric Picnic Journey
Before travelling, we recommend:
- Booking a bus is the handiest way to get there as don't need to worry about the stress of traffic and park
- If you are driving and going down on the Thursday, try to aim to be in Stradbally by 15:00 as the traffic in the evening time can be very bad
- Train - Irish Rail will bring you to Portlaois from Heuston and from here there are shuttle buses to bring you to the campsite
