For the first time ever, music fans heading to Electric Picnic will be able to cool down in the festival's lake.

The new area - which hasn't been opened to the public before - will be located in the idyllic surroundings of the Stradbally Hall estate.

Organisers say the lake was man-made in the 18th century by the ancestral owners of Stradbally Hall; the Cosby family. 

As it's tucked away, you probably haven't stumbled upon the lake before, so there will be signposts from the Jimi Hendrix Campsite that'll help you find your way.

Picnic lifeguards will be on duty. Adults who can swim can take a dip, and kids can too - once they're accompanied by a responsible adult who can swim.

Opening times:

  • Friday: 2pm -5pm FAMILIES ONLY / 5.30pm-7pm ADULTS ONLY 
  • Saturday: 10am-1pm FAMILIES ONLY / 1.30pm-7pm ADULTS ONLY 
  • Sunday: 10am-1pm FAMILIES ONLY / 1.30pm-7pm ADULTS ONLY
