Laois

Live in

Laois may be one of Ireland’s quieter counties, but it has a lot to offer, from the dramatic ruins of the Rock of Dunamase to the rolling Slieve Bloom Mountains. The county is also home to Emo Court, a stunning neoclassical mansion surrounded by beautiful gardens and woodlands. Despite its peaceful reputation, Laois hosts one of Ireland’s biggest and most iconic music festivals—Electric Picnic—a three-day celebration of music, art, and food that attracts festival-goers from all over the world.
