Electric Picnic is back this September 1-3, and tickets sold out in the blink of an eye.

The music is of course top class, but let's not forget about the myriad of other events and experiences on offer!

From crafts to comedy, here are nine areas you should check out.

Soul Kids is a space just for children - full of activities, performances and workshops!

It's a celebration of nature, creativity and all things magical.

Body & Soul offers a relaxing area where you can do yoga, get a massage, or soak in a wood-fired outdoor hot tub.

It's a great place to unwind and get away from the madness.

In the Greencrafts Village you can choose from forty different daily workshops.

Carve a wooden plate, make a silver ring, weave a willow basket - the world is your oyster!

Laugh your socks off at the comedy tent!

Previous acts have included Dylan Moran, The Rubberbandits and David O'Doherty, so you know you're in for a treat.

Mindfield is an oasis of literary readings, political debate, news quizzes, science experiments and more.

Fill your brains with new thoughts, ideas and experiences!

Foodies unite! The Theatre of Food features workshops, demonstrations and lots and lots of delicious dishes.

The Happy Pear, Rosanna Davison and many more chefs and food writers will be in attendance.

Trailer Park is made of joined-up campers, vintage caravans, stylised mobile homes and reconditioned retro trailers.

Expect performances, miniature restaurants, hula dancers and more.

Enter Electric Picnic's woodland haven, where you can find otherworldly creatures, interactive theatre, shadow puppetry and storytelling.

Want to try the tango or bust some Hip Hop moves? Curious about contemporary dance?

Then embrace the rhythm and get yourself to Dance Days - dance workshops thatll have you grooving all weekend long!
