Stock up on all your camping essentials, well in time for summer.

Now that the clocks have gone forward and Easter is just around the corner, it won't be long before the first signs of summer come into sight. All going well, the long evenings will soon translate into warmer sunnier days, giving us more opportunities to get outdoors and embrace all Ireland has to offer - including some stunning camping locations. But if you're new to camping, stocking up on all the gear you need can be pricey. That's why Lidl is making your next camping trip as affordable and accessible as possible, by running a huge camping sale with all the essentials you'll need for a break away outdoors. From tents and sleeping bags to cooking equipment and camping furniture, the range offers all the essentials at a really affordable price tag, with some items starting from just €1.49. It's ideal for first-time campers looking to stock up on quality gear that won't break the bank or anyone whose equipment needs an upgrade after last year's antics.
