Re: Accommodation Near The Entrance Stradbally/Electric Picnic? Carlow is a similar distance to Stradbally too (about 20 minutes or even a little less). My advice is get out a map and bus timtables and pick a town on a bus route. I know that Rainbow Records in Carlow run a dedicated bus return to most concerts so if staying there you could use their service (if provided for this event, ring and find out), its normally fairly cheap.
