Your Festival Survival Kit Is Just Beside the Supervalu — Chemco Pharmacy Stradbally & Electric Picnic 2026

Electric Picnic is back in Stradbally from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th August, and if you're one of the thousands descending on the town for a weekend of music, camping, and (let's be honest) questionable food choices, we want you to know we're right here for you.

Find Us Beside the Supervalu

Chemco Pharmacy Stradbally is located right beside the Supervalu Supermarket — Eircode R32 AY74. Whether you're stocking up before you pitch your tent or realise on Saturday morning that you forgot your painkillers, we're an easy, familiar stop just off the main festival route.

What to Pick Up Before the Gates Open

Festivals have a habit of catching people out. Here's what our team recommends packing (or grabbing from us) before you head to the campsite:

• Sun protection — SPF, aftersun, and an SPF lip balm. Irish weather is unpredictable, but three days outdoors adds up either way. Stock up on Beauty of Joseon Matte Stick SPF 50, Bondi Sands SPF Body Spray, Bondi Sands Face Mist, and Bondi Sands Lip Balm.
• Hydration & electrolytes — long days, long queues, and long nights call for more than water alone. Try AYA Electrolytes, available in Lemon & Lime, Cola, Orange, and Blackcurrant.
• Pain relief — for the inevitable sore feet, sore head, or sore everything by Sunday.
• Blister plasters & foot care — you'll be on your feet more than you think.
• First aid basics — antiseptic wipes, plasters, and bandages for the small mishaps.
• Ear plugs — protect your hearing over three days of music.
• Rehydration sachets — a festival-weekend essential, no explanation needed.
• Eye drops & contact lens solution — dust, grass, and glitter don't mix well with contacts.
• Insect repellent — campsite evenings bring midges along with the good vibes.
• Telfast for allergy relief — hay fever and grass allergies are no match for a field full of tents. Keep Telfast on hand so sneezing and itchy eyes don't get in the way of the music.
• Tipple Hangover Defence Burst — take it before the night gets away from you, or the morning after when you need a bit of help getting back on your feet.
• Burst teeth whitening strips — for festival selfies that hold up just as well as your dance moves.
• Travel-size toothbrushes & toothpaste — small enough for the tent, essential for surviving three days of festival food.

Our Festival Weekend Hours

We know timing matters when you're working around a festival schedule, so here's when we're open:

• Friday 28th August: 9am – 6pm
• Saturday 29th August: 9am – 6pm

Pop In Anytime Over the Weekend

Our Stradbally team will be on hand throughout the festival if you need advice, a top-up on something you've run out of, or just a friendly face away from the crowds. No need to trek far — we're right beside the Supervalu, so it's easy to build us into your festival supply run.

Have a brilliant Electric Picnic, and we hope you don't need us for anything more than sun cream, Telfast, and a bit of hydration advice.
