Trailer Park is Electric Picnic’s world of graceful lunacy, a haven of hilarious caravans, utilitarian mobile homes that have undergone surgery, vans re-functioned, campers converted. Collectively they create a metropolis of tiny venues, interactive cultural outposts, fun-clinics and oddball theatres. It is anchored by the Mobile Home Stage, quite literally a stage set in the form of a ‘static’ complete with bedroom, kitchen, lavatory and lounge.
Now established as the place to go to truly experience the soul of Electric Picnic, Trailer Park is mobile-tropolis of stunning visual creativity – and it’s about unchecked laughter, live music that lifts you to the sky, and series of encounters with some of the most ridiculous installations anywhere in Ireland. These include:
