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.
Three meals are gifted to you!
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday there is a meal for everyone!! So you don't have to cook yourself. The meals are a gift, but help with preparing the meals is very welcome!
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.

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.
