Forest Fest takes place on the edge of Emo Court in Laois.

The organisers of the Laois music festival, Forest Fest, are promising new and improved camping for concertgoers this summer that's closer to the heart of the action in Emo.

The Forest Fest team say they've secured a much larger camping space that is a 10-minute walk to the event site in the Laois village at the GAA grounds. 

They say that with parking right next to the campsite, the new area also has "top-notch" facilities that include phone charging stations, hot showers and some delicious food.  A campervan site is also on the premises and a five-minute walk from all the action. 

Taking place on July 25, 26 and 27 in Emo village, the festival line-up showcases a wide variety of entertainment
