    The gin garden, you say? And there was me thinking I'd explored the site thoroughly.

    It was unreal, in Mindfield, you got an empty glass, first station you had an edible paint for inside your glass, then pick 1 of 3 gins and 3 mixers, loads of fruits to choose from and then loads of fresh herbs.
    It was great and not too pricey.

    Wow. Beats a lukewarm can of Heineken. I'll keep my eyes peeled in 2020.

    On Sunday there was a free gin for first hundred people to go to the stall and give a codeword. Saw a notification on the app but I was driving...

    If you were any sort of Boardsie, Sweetie, you would have pulled over there and then and got that up on the thread. Poor form.

    Any parents out there bring their kids the last year or two?
    It's been a few years since I went and I brought my nephew (4) that time. Had a ball.

    Just wondering if it's still as kid friendly or anything changed I'm not aware of.
    Hoping to bring my daughter, she'll be tipping 4 also

    I know! In fairness it was during our daring attempt to bypass the gardai on the vicarstown Rd and skip the Sunday daytrippers hour plus long queue

    Was the Official App any good this year?

    I've avoided it for a few years, but seeing this and there was also some schedule changes makes me thing I should have looked into it. I presume schedule changes were also pushed through notifications also.

    It was ok, wasn't the easiest to see what was currently on or how long a set was but it was a help at times

    Actually I do have a Q , I’m still a bit drunk from last night and feeling generous , anyone recommend pod pads or anything to say about them ?

    Thinking of getting one as bday/Xmas present for my wife (a present I can enjoy too)
    €850 , worth it ? Does that include a ticket ?

    don't need a code, you'd be getting early bird tickets

    I've a rake of cans left and I'm slowly polishing them off each night!!

    Must agree with an earlier poster, the Three stage was cool AF, fully kitted out, barriers at the front, nice stage, good sound desk, good sound, serious rigs, roof overhead, bar right beside (no toilets though) it had everything bar punters watching acts!!
