As for the logistical information...

Transport

* Get yourself on a train or bus to Tullamore, County Offaly. At the train station, you may wish to purchase last minute supples at the Lidl supermarket (but be warned that alcohol is strictly forbidden on the castle grounds).

* Then you can jump on a Mor shuttle bus (from the Lidl carpark), which will be taking people to Charleville Castle. This is the only way to access the castle grounds by vehicle, as the limited parking is reserved for equipment-laden artists.

* If you are driving, there is limited public parking at the train station - first come, first served. hotpress.com advises that the walk from Tullamore town to the castle grounds is very long indeed. Shuttle buses are advised.

Opening times
* The gates open on Saturday at 10.30am, with the first act on at 2pm. The full schedule of performances will be posted on the Mor website on Thursday, August 19.

* The castle gates will close - and the hounds will be released on loiterers - on Saturday night at 8pm.

And the rest
* A full bar - courtesy of the good folk at Sin E - will be operating at the castle over the weekend. There are no ATMs in the castle so be sure to bring sufficient cash. No fires. No cooking equipment. No camping on Sunday night.

Tickets for the two day event, priced at €65, are still available online at tickets.ie or from Tower Records, Road Records, Spindizzy and City Discs in Dublin, plus Red Light (Galway), Plug'D (Cork) and Black Spot (Limerick).
