FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If I have a gift, should it be for everyone?
No!
What you want! Baking pancakes for 10 people is also great! What you want. If you want to give 5 people career advice, perfect. Two chairs, a sign and you are done with the preparation.
Where can I do my gift?
There are a lot of places in the Castle. Beautiful chambers, dungeons, covered outdoor area’s that you can use for your gift. Check with us if you have greater plans.
Can’t I really buy anything at the festival? No drinks too?
That's right, you can't buy anything. Everyone is self-sufficient and has their own drinks and food. But it can just be that you are given everything. A breakfast, a wine, a delicious wrap, some beers. Those are the gifts of the others.
Where do I cook my own food?
There will be facilities (mobile kitchens) where you can prepare your own dinner. These kitchens will have stoves and washing up sinks. You can cook for yourself or somebody else.
Four days ... can I also come for a day?
That is allowed. But you will enjoy it more if you immerse yourself for four days. Then you experience the 50/50 Fest as intended. That someone brings you a croissant in your room in the morning. Just a bizarre different world.
Will there be tickets for children?
Yes, but not yet. First we need the regular tickets to be sold, so the 50/50 Winter Fest can go on.
Will there be a ticket aid programm?
Yes, but not yet. First we need the regular tickets to be sold, so the 50/50 Winter Fest can go on.
Do I have to buy a ticket now?
Yes!
Because we would have to make the reservation of the area, the tickets need to be bought before July 2024.
You will get your money back if the event does not go ahead due to insufficient interest. We need 80% of the tickets sold in July 2024 to go ahead.
So buy your ticket now, we need it so the Fest can go on.

Garbage - Leave no trace/LNT
Where do I leave my waste? You take your garbage home.
We recommend thinking in advance about what you will bring to the fest. Leave unnecessary packaging material at home. Sort your waste and make it compact and dry. Make your beer cans small and empty. You don't want a leaking garbage bag in your car. There are no waste bins during the festival. The few waste bins on the terrain are for the residents.
How, what and where do I go to sleep?
Well, in a very comfortable beds that is made up for you.
These beds are in 73 Castlerooms. All beds have the same price, so pick your favorite room while you can.
How do I Dress?
The extreme, over-the-top version of yourself!
And you can get a bit dirty and there is a lot of dancing and there are tents.
