The journey through the day for those attending will be long and will involve significant walks to and from the Mass depending on where you are coming from. Walking is unavoidable due to the size, scale and location of the event.
To help you with your journey there are a number of supports in place. Designated rest zones will be positioned at regular intervals at the transport hubs, along these walking routes and at the gates. Multiple food and drinks stations will also be available, as will medical facilities, toilets and baby changing facilities. There will be volunteers throughout the venue, at the gates and at the hubs who will be able to help you.
This event is not seated so you may be standing for some time. However , portable seating will be allowed into the venue . More information on this and what else you can bring into the venue will be available soon.
Every effort is being made to accommodate as many people with accessibility needs as is possible, within this unique location. We are currently consulting with disability organisations regarding this and will be communicating the finalised plans as soon as possible. In the meantime, please do register for a ticket, indicating your accessibility requirements.
The image above shows what a journey on the day will involve and the time it might take you to get in and out of the Phoenix Park.
You can use the following guide to estimate your journey time:
Your journey time from home to M50 + 9 hours + your journey time from M50 to home .
The total here gives you an idea of the length of your day.
The exact opening time for the Phoenix Park will be confirmed closer to the event. You will not be able to stay overnight in the Park.
