How do I get to Ballinderry Park?

Is there parking on site?

Can I camp or glamp?
Yes. General camping is included with your festival ticket, and a range of glamping options are available as add-ons. Glamping sells out every year - book early.
What ticket tiers are available?
Tickets start at €149.99, with glamping upgrades available. We're on the final ticket tier for Chapter Six. Full breakdown and add-ons are on the booking page.
What should I bring?
A tent and warm sleeping bag if you're camping, sturdy footwear, waterproofs and warm layers (Irish weather is changeable), a reusable cup or bottle, sun cream, a torch, and your most audacious costumes for the parade and fashion show.
What's the weather like in late May?
West of Ireland weather in late May can swing between sunshine and showers. Pack for all conditions - waterproofs, layers, sturdy boots and sun cream are all essential.
Is the site accessible?
We do our best to make the site as accessible as possible across a working country estate. If you have specific access needs, please email hello@ealulegra.ie ahead of the festival so we can plan with you.
What food and drink is on site?
A curated selection of independent food traders covers a wide range of dietary needs, alongside fully stocked bars. Food traders are increasingly moving to reusable containers as part of our sustainability work.
Card or cash on site?
Cash is preferred, but card and contactless payment are also accepted across most bars and traders. We recommend bringing both - cash for speed, card as backup.
How is ÉLG sustainable?
We're working towards becoming a zero waste festival - with one stage powered by solar and battery, a return cans and bottles scheme, repurposed organic materials, a dedicated Leave No Trace volunteer team, and an Energy Audit of the entire site.
Are tickets refundable?
Tickets are non-refundable except where required by law. Where allowed, transfers may be possible via our ticketing partner - full terms are on the booking page.
Can I volunteer?
Yes. ÉLG is community-built and we welcome volunteers across many roles. Sign-ups open on the About page closer to the festival.
