Pan Celtic Festival 2027: A Carlow Cultural Road Trip

30 March–3 April 2027 · Carlow town

Make Carlow your spring festival stop for the Pan Celtic Festival. Its published 2027 dates offer a cultural focus just after Easter, with an opportunity to build a few days of travel through Ireland’s Ancient East around the celebrations.

Make it a road trip

Combine time in Carlow with a separate visit to Kilkenny or another nearby heritage town. Keeping the route compact means more of your break can go towards the festival and fewer hours disappear behind the wheel.

Plan your event stay

Check the final programme for the events and venues you want to attend. Arrange an authorised overnight pitch and confirm seasonal opening before reserving your campervan.

Find your campervan for 2027

Retro Camper Hire offers campervan hire all year round, subject to vehicle availability. Turn the event into a break that suits you. Compare Retro Camper Hire’s campervans and choose the layout and facilities for your group. Check campervan dates and prices, or ask us about your trip before finalising tickets and your overnight pitch.

Plan your journey from our Dublin campervan hire base, or use our Ireland touring guide to build a longer road trip around the event.

Hire availability depends on your dates. Event admission, campsite pitches and any event vehicle passes are booked separately and are not included in campervan hire.
