The story

Púca Festival is a 4-day electronic festival at Trim & Athboy in Trim & Athboy, Ireland. The October 2026 edition runs 29 Oct – 1 Nov 2026.

Everything happens at Trim & Athboy, in Trim & Athboy. Trim & Athboy is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

Púca Festival keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Thursday and closing on a Sunday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Trim & Athboy are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to Púca Festival works out at roughly €511 per person on the cheapest combination we track — a mid-priced weekend by the standards of our index.

The ticket is only 7% of that: the rest is getting there and sleeping somewhere, which is exactly the part most ticket sites leave out.

Cheapest travel we price is bus · 15h 24m each way, at €104 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Púca Festival are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 5 nights rather than 4: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Púca Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
