Support three charity raffles to win tickets to Electric Picnic in Laois
Three amazing charity online raffles are underway all offering Electric Picnic tickets, all with big Laois connections.
If you haven’t got Electric Picnic tickets, there are three great chances to win some by helping Laois charities in the process.
The Laois Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LSPCA) has a raffle for an incredible luxury prize. It covers four weekend tickets with Early Access passes from Thursday, glamping in the Pink Moon Faiche Tipi campsite in a 4 person super deluxe bell tent and VIP lounge access.
The charity which has a shop in Hinds Square, Portlaoise explains that their costs have soared.
“2026 has already been a very busy and expensive year for Laois SPCA. We've had to cover some tricky orthopaedic surgeries and we've had more than usual older animals with complicated presentations.
“The proceeds of this raffle will give us a much needed boost without exhausting any volunteers. Proceeds will help us to keep paying our monthly vet bills as we rehab the animals in our care and prepare them for adoption. Electric Picnic is perfect timing for our most expensive/exhausting time - kitten season! Neuter your pets, and contact your local rescue about getting stray cats neutered. Save us some work.”
Their draw will take place online and the winner will be announced on Saturday, August 15 to give the winner time to sort out life for the ultimate luxurious Electric Picnic weekend kicking off Thursday August 27.
Their raffle tickets are €10 each, or 3 for €25, 7 for €50 or 15 for €100, with €26,000 already raised in ticket sales. Enter here.
The Friends of Portlaoise Hospital are raffling two tickets, in aid of patient comforts in Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise.
“We’re thrilled to announce a raffle for two Weekend Tickets to the Electric Picnic 2026, kindly donated by the Electric Picnic Committee.
“This is your chance to experience Ireland’s biggest music festival, while supporting a cause that’s close to home. Every cent raised from this raffle will go directly towards enhancing patient comforts at the Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise,” the charity group says.
The Friends of Portlaoise Hospital rely on the generosity of the local community to raise funds for projects, equipment and improvements that help enhance patients comforts at the hospital.
Recent donations thanks to public support include care packs for patients, a donation towards the cost of the Asthma Camp, an update of the children’s playroom and pocket talk.
“With your help, we’re making a real difference but we need you to help us keep going.”
They are selling raffle tickets at 2 for €5 and 5 for €10.
The draw will take place online on https://www.idonate.ie/raffle/win2xweekendticketstotheelec and the winner will be announced this Sunday, August 16.
Áine Reams is a spokesperson for Friends of Portlaoise Hospital.
“We are very grateful to the Electric Picnic Committee for very kindly donating two tickets to us. We know how popular Electric Picnic is, particularly here in Laois, so we are hoping that the community will get behind the raffle and help us raise as much as possible for patients at the Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise.”
The third chance to win Electric Picnic tickets is offered by The Cara Curley Fund, a registered Irish charity.
It raises money to help families navigate the financial and emotional challenges of serious illness. It is inspired by the bravery and spirit of little Cara Curley who passed away aged just 8, and is supported by Laois Offaly Garda Division.
LIke the LSPCA draw, it’s on idonate.ie and the tickets are also €10 each, or 3 for €25, 7 for €50 or 15 for €100. The Cara Curley Electric Picnic competition has only raised €1,000 so far in draw ticket sales so has a better chance of winning and a great reason to help them.
That draw will take place on Sunday, August 23, enter it here.
Electric Picnic 2026 takes place in the Cosby estate, Stradbally from Thursday, August 27 to Monday, August 31, and is sold out.
