Electric Picnic have announced that festival-goers will be able to enjoy a whole new side of Stradbally for the first the first time in 2016.

The lake, which has been off-limits up until now, will be open to swimmers at certain hours throughout Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

EP have confirmed that there will be lifeguards on duty for the sake of everybody’s safety, but have asked that only competent swimmers venture into the water. Kids must be accompanied by their parents.

The opening times of the lake are as follows:

  • Friday: 2pm -5pm families only / 5.30pm-7.00pm adults only
  • Saturday: 10am-1pm families only / 1.30pm-7.00pm adults only

Sounds like the perfect way to wash off all of the previous night’s partying.
