Air Hubs

New in 2023, we introduced AIR Hubs across our campsites at Electric Picnic. AIR is an acronym for ASSISTANCE, INFORMATION & RESPONSE and we will be working with local community groups and charities to run these hubs for us, with the support of our existing safeguarding and welfare partners at the festival. The groups involved with the Electric Picnic AIR Hubs are SOSAD Ireland,  Portarlington Women’s Shed, Portlaoise AFC, Laois Cricket Club and more. There will be AIR Hubs across the campsites and arena, meaning you will never be too far away from a friendly face or listening ear when at Electric Picnic. Air Hubs will be open 24 hours in the campsites, from Thursday through to Monday until the campsites close.

ASK FOR ANGELA

This year we are supporting the Ask for Angela campaign, which is operational at all our venues, bars and briefed to all staff members. We want to make sure help is ready and available to those who call upon it. We have seen this simple yet effective campaign prove successful at our festival so far and want to continue this year at Electric Picnic.

The Family Campsite is our dedicated campsite for families with children aged 12 or under (limited to 2 children per adult). Please note that ID checks will be in place at the festival. If you feel your child looks older than 12 years old, please bring ID to back this up (colour photocopies will suffice). There are showers, toilets and water points available in this campsite.

The Family Campsite opens at 09:00 on Friday, 28th August, for general Family ticketholders.

For Family ticketholders who have also purchased early entry tickets, the Family Campsite opens at 14:00 on Thursday, 27th August.

Only holders of Family Camping Tickets are permitted to stay in the Family Campsite. Single adults or groups of adults will not be permitted entry unless accompanied by a child. Anyone arriving without a child will be directed to the general campsites.

Family Camping ticket holders will have access to a dedicated Family Car Park, as well as on-site showers, toilets, and a first aid point within the campsite.

Please take guidance from the staff on where to pitch your tent. If your tent is found to be blocking the fire lanes and emergency exits, it will be removed for safety reasons.

Introduce yourself to your neighbours and set up a neighbourhood watch system. Experience shows that the best and friendliest campsites are the ones with people who make the effort to do so. It also means you’ll have more friends to party with.

AIR Hubs are located across our campsites and the arena. AIR is an acronym for ASSISTANCE, INFORMATION & RESPONSE and we will be working with local community groups and charities to run these hubs for us, with the support of our safeguarding and welfare partners at the festival.

AIR Hubs act as information points for customers at the event, providing useful resources such as public maps, help maps and event posters!

There will be AIR Hubs located in the campsites and arena, meaning you will never be too far away from a friendly face or listening ear when at Electric Picnic. AIR Hubs in the campsites will also match the colour of the campsite bunting to easily identify which one you are at! AIR Hub staff are easily identifiable in yellow-branded AIR Hub jackets.

AIR Hubs will be open 24 hours in all campsites, from Thursday through to Monday until the campsites close.

AIR Hubs in the arena will be open during arena operating hours.

Charging and Wi-Fi are available at each AIR Hub across the event site!

Lockers  will be available for storing your valuables all weekend in the Jimi Hendrix campsite. We recommend valuables such as wallets, IDs, cameras etc are kept in lockers for extra security. Storage boxes are perfect for storing larger items such as alcohol, etc. If it fits in, they will store it!
Book your locker in advance to avoid disappointment!

Refillable non-glass bottles of any size may be brought into the site, including plastic sports bottles.

Free drinking water points are located throughout the campsites and arena, which can be found next to the toilet blocks.

Please refill your water bottles at these points. Electric Picnic branded refillable water bottles are available to buy at the merch stalls also! Join the #RefillRevolution #BYOBottle

Big Yellow Trucks are back this year, providing a trolley rental service at Electric Picnic!
They’re based in the Red and Yellow car parks.

Opening Hours:

• Thursday: 14:00 – 23:00
• Friday: 07:00 – 19:00

Big Yellow Trucks are JAM Card accredited — JAM means Just A Minute. Their crew will be receiving JAM Card training for this year’s festival, so if you need a little extra time or patience, just show your card.

The Welfare Tent is located in the Jimi Hendrix Campsite beside the arena entrance and is open 24 hours and is staffed by experienced and supportive people.

They can provide confidential advice about drugs, alcohol, legal highs and sexual health, and offer support if you need to talk. They offer a monitored rest and recovery area if you’ve overdone it.

Please go to the Welfare Tent if you experience any problems or need to talk to someone for any reason.
