Full Costume
Neutral, ideally skin coloured underwear for underneath costumes.
Own hairbrush, mascara, foundation &/or concealer if you prefer to use your own.
Food & drink for the day. We will have opportunities to visit shops / cafes as needed during our journey and during breaks, but Dublin can of course be pricey so I'd advise packing as much as you can.

*Exact time will be traffic dependant, participants will be able to text family members at key points during the journey in order to provide a more accurate arrival time for parents travelling to collect members. If anyone is travelling from a location which would be along the main travel route back from Dublin and would like to request an alternative drop off point, please contact me and we'll see what can be accommodated.
I will be the main chaperone for the bus journey, Jessie Thompson will meet us in Dublin and will be a 2nd chaperone for the time we spend in Dublin.
