More about Castlefest................

"Imagine yourself in a completely different world at Castlefest, the medieval/Fantasy festival of the Netherlands.

A fest for young and old, where, as soon as you enter the gates, you find yourself in the Other World.

Castlefest is a total experience with lots of music, fantasy writers, themed catering, medieval crafts and a large market which offers everything a fantasy fan is looking for.

A large amount of bands are performing at the various festival stages, from Pagan Folk to World Music, from Medieval Rock to Indie. In short, for each music lover his own!

Castlefest characterizes itself by a unique ambiance. This makes that regular visitors are looking forward to the next edition a year in advance. It creates a feeling where you find yourself in a completely different world, causing a daze and homesickness for weeks after the event took place.
The Castlefest-feeling is difficult to define, but something everyone needs to experience themselves.

The highlight of the festival is the Wickerman-burning at the Saturday evening. Together with visitors, bands, exhibitors, entertainers, caterers and the staff you are living towards the moment the Wickerman is lit. The energy that is then released is a special experience that cannot be missed".
