maybe around 20th july for say 4nights.....anything above a hostel...caravan fine...2 adults 2 kids...

i ask here cause its very hard to find prices online...caravan park website has no rates on it.

Jurys is about 120 a night room only for 2 adults 2 kids, Carlton about 80 a night (discount for over 3 nts)

You may get deals closer to the time, but will get some discounts by booking now. A private room in a hostel can work out not much cheaper than a hotel. The advantage is you have a kitchen if you are really trying to save. Disadvantage is noise, no telly of your own etc.

Google some b and bs and ask for a deal now

id say you need to book now as prices will rise drastically for this time in Galway. Also bring loads of money - arts festival shows tend to be overrated and overpriced (you might pay 30- 50 euro to see an act, that will be playing in a local bar on a regular week for nothing). Just to warn you.

I'd say so since it's always here during the summer.

Most places rent out sat>sat ...by the week. You may as well try for 16th to 23rd inclusive and you will be gone for the races.
