All information below relates to the annual Vantastival festival, which usually takes place in June.
In 2022 we will host a mini-festival on the 16th and 17th September. Full details to follow soon.
Vantastival is a gloriously independent, award-winning festival which takes place at Beaulieu House on the sloping banks of the river Boyne each June bank holiday weekend.
Music fans and campervanners flock to this unique family-friendly event for its fantastically diverse line up, super-friendly vibes, and quirky extras. Other attractions include gourmet food stalls, festival traders, scheduled kids’ activities, arts, crafts and many other fun and novel additions, ensuring that
Vantastival has something for everyone, with or without a campervan!
Campervans are welcome to park on site (right next to the arena) at no extra charge, but you don’t have to have a campervan to enjoy all that’s on offer and there is a dedicated tent campsite for those without vans! Our ‘Bring Your Own Booze’ policy also means that Vantastival is one of the most affordable festivals in Ireland.

Car Park
The car park for 2-day and 3-day ticket holders is adjacent to the festival site and will be well signposted. Please note: Beaulieu House will charge for use of the car park, money to go towards the upkeep of the estate. Price for parking is €5. For safety reasons we cannot allow patrons to drive cars into the campsite to unload their belongings, but even if you have to make a couple of trips from the car, it should only take a few minutes. Absolutely no camping will be permitted in the Car Park. No sound systems will be permitted in the car park and anyone attempting to operate a sound system here will be asked to leave the site.
Day Parking
Parking for single day ticket-holders is located beside St. Fechin’s GAA club, just 2 minutes from the festival entrance. A shuttle bus will carry passengers from the car park to the festival entrance. Cost for parking is €5 and price includes the shuttlebus.

Don't forget
• Tickets – Don’t forget to bring your e-tickets. They can be scan from your phone so keep them handy. And if you haven’t got yours yet get them now from https://www.vantastival.com/tickets/ 😃
• Tent – Something solid, avoid buying cheap camping gear, as cheap tents and chairs break and tear and end up in the tip after only a couple of uses. Think about investing a little more money in a better tent that will last you years or ask a friend to borrow theirs if you can’t quite yet!
• Sleeping bag – a warm one. The weather can get very cold at night. Camp mat recommended.
• Rain gear, wellies and extra socks – plastic ponchos are use once items so please don’t bring them. Everyone has a rain jacket, it’s Ireland after all!
• Reusable Water Bottle – There will be drinkable water points throughout the site to fill up your bottle. Please avoid bringing excess plastic to site.
• Reusable coffee cup/ mug – we highly encourage bringing your own eco cup or mug to use throughout the event as this minimises the number of purchased coffee cups going into circulation and thus landfill, even though they’ll be compostable this year, each one less makes a huge difference!
• Cash – we won’t have any ATM’s on site so make sure you bring enough money for the weekend.
• Torch – your phone’s battery won’t last if you keep using it as your torch all weekend so we also recommended to bring a …
• Portable battery pack – always good to have a backup!
• Sun cream, Sunglasses and Sun Hat – we like to be optimistic about the weather! 😎😎😎
• Ear plugs & Ear defenders – Protect your and your little ones ears!
• Ashtray – if you’re a smoker bring a portable ashtray with a lid to carry with you. Please don’t drop cigarette butts on the ground!
• Rubbish bag – to keep you landfill waste and recycling separate, we will be providing everyone with a clear plastic bag for their recycling this year so it can be dropped off at our recycling points when full!
• Beer or tipple of your choice
*** We highly recommended checking the weather before the weekend so you’ll know exactly what to expect and have a better idea of what to bring from the above list! No point to bring wellies if it’s going to be like the past 3 years!! ***
