Portlaoise's central location within Ireland and its concentration of restaurants, pubs, bars and nightclubs around Market Square, Main Street and the Church Street area of the town centre and other nearby facilities such as paintball, golf, bowling and other amenities make it a popular destination for [[Bachelorette party|hen]] and [[Bachelor party|stag]] parties and other weekend breaks. [[Portlaoise railway station]] is the closest station to [[Stradbally Hall]] where the [[Electric Picnic]] Festival is held each year.
