And the line-up for the Festival has been revealed.

The family camping festival will see big names including Bell X1, Tom Odell, and Wild Youth amongst others.

The festival will be taking place from June 28 to June 30 at Russborough House in Blessington in Co Wicklow.

Exciting events include a range of urban and adventure sports, water sports, morning runs and other endorphin inducing activities.

Parents can also bust some moves in the baby disco.

But if you’re looking to unwind, the festival will offer access to a selection of massage treatments, hot tubs and seaweed baths at its woodland spa.

Other wellness programmes include meditation, Tai Chi, and yoga.

And visitors can also take part in theatre, spoken word, visual art, circus, cinema, comedy and music events.

Children and teen programmes will take place within Russborough’s walled garden and an utterly enchanting fairy fort located on the forest’s edge.

This year’s festival is also offering “Car Camping” which will let you park the car straight into your campsite, next to your designated tent pitch.

Richard Seabrooke, creative director of Kaleidoscope, said: “As the dad of 2 wonderful children (7 and 9) I wanted to take everything that inspires me about the land we’re lucky to live in and put it on a stage across 3 wonder filled days in the most incredible of settings.

“A time where opportunity, creativity and collaboration are the fuel to make and mould the world around us for the better.
