The venue for Forest Fest is at the cross roads in Emo Village and at the cross roads of Ireland, only 10 minutes from the towns of Portlaoise, Portarlington and Mountmellick and literally up the road from the neighbouring village of Killenard and its prestigious resort, the Heritage Hotel at Killenard, our accommodation partners.
