Prepping to hit the fields of Stradbally this Friday?

If the annual Electric Picnic panic has officially set in, keep calm.

Whether you’ve just opened your shed to find a mouldy pop-up tent from three years ago or you’ve realised your trusty wellies have a massive tear, don’t freak out. If you’re in Cork, your best bet for a painless, budget-friendly haul is a quick dash into Mountain Warehouse on Opera Lane.

Here is why it’s the undisputed king of last-minute festival prep:

Pop-Up Tents That Won’t Break The Bank: Festival tents take absolute punishment, so spending a fortune isn’t the vibe. Mountain Warehouse stocks lightweight, water-resistant two-to-four-person pop-up tents that set up in seconds – giving you maximum time to make it to the main stage.

They start at just €29.99.

Bargain Sleeping Gear: Sleeping on the cold ground is a fast track to ruining your weekend. They have roll mats, air beds, and cosy sleeping bags slashed in price all year round.

Irish Weather Prep: Let’s be real – it’s an Irish festival. You’re going to need waterproof packaway jackets, sturdy wellies, and heavy-duty ponchos.

They keep a massive stock so don’t let your weekend be ruined by soggy sweaters.

The Essential Bits & Bobs: Beyond the big items, it’s the elite spot for those tiny lifesavers you always forget – think headtorches, refillable water bottles, travel towels, and compact camping chairs for campsite chill sessions.
