Electric Picnic week is finally here!!! A kaleidoscope of colours, the festival has something for everyone. Spend time with the family, rekindle the artist within you or simply be surrounded by contagious fun; this is the place to be!

Spread over the weekend, the event promises to be a creative and interesting experience. Music being the soul of the event, there is more on the platter now. From Body & Soul, Comedy to Art and the likes, there is much to revel in. The surprise however is the costume party on the last day of the event. The ‘Roaring 20’s’ theme is going to see an array of Flapper dresses, Charleston Costumes, Gangster Costumes, Wellies, slick bob style wigs, Flapper bags and the works. Going back in time has its own charm and with all the 20’s theme costumes on sale, TheCostumeShop.ie will let you do just that!

For more fun and frolic choose from the myriad options; pay a tribute to your favourite band at one of the innumerable performances by wearing one of our rockstar costumes or tickle your funny bone with our collection of funny costumes while accompanying Barry Murphy. There are fairytale and Barbie costumes to add to the magic for the little ones in the Soul Kids Event.

Become one with the energy and euphoria of ‘the best Electric Picnic yet’- as stated by The Irish Times. The Rolling Stones claim it’s one of the best festivals they have been to, so, be there!

They’re little, they’re blue and they’re simple archetypes of everyday people. Meet Grouchy Smurf, Brainy Smurf, Lazy Smurf, Papa Smurf and the rest of the blue-tinted gang!

Ireland has been Smurf’d in 3D! The new movie, The Smurfs, is out in theaters now and we’re rather intrigued by these little blue creatures. So intrigued, we’ve got our own set of Smurf Costumes replete with a jumper, trousers, shoe covers, mittens and a headpiece!

If you’re anything like me an hour and a half of watching the smurf’s film will have you replacing every second noun and pronoun in your vocabulary for hours.

This halloween, your admiration of the little blue guys won’t be complete without one of our Smurf Costumes. Remember to add your own accessories as per the Smurf character’s idiosyncrasies; round black-rimmed glasses for Brainy Smurf, a pencil tucked in behind the ear for Handy Smurf, so on and so forth. Oh yes, we even have a Smurfette Costume!
