SpunOut.ie Blog: Electric Picnic

Exactly what the doctor ordered.

SpunOut.ie Office Manager, Susie Quirke relives Electric Picnic for your benefit!

Every nook and cranny you stumble upon feels like entering another mystical, supernatural wonderland. Nothing is spared. Sparkling fairy lights, a giant ferris wheel, ice cream cones, a secret village in the woods, the chapel, giant coloured tents filled with everything you could wish for, not to mention so much kicking music at every turn all the day long.

Loaded up with my two essentials, wellies and legwarmers, it felt as if I was transported back to my childhood for three gorgeous days.

With no responsibilities on my shoulders I took off on a wandering escapade meeting beautiful people and seeing sights to fuel my imagination.

The marvelous thing is opening up the zip of your tent in the morning, gasping for air of course, and seeing all of your best friends surrounding you, knowing that chats and laughter will chase you throughout the day. What else can you possibly ask for? Really though?!

I have come back from Electric Picnic with a fresh fire in my belly for life and it’s exactly what the doctor ordered.
