Where is Bosburcht?
Bosburcht takes place at the estate of Castle de Berckt in Baarlo. A stunning location, almost in the middle of nowhere. On this estate, there are two beautiful castles, surrounded by nature, moats, little bridges, and other lovely feautures.

Our values
Social safety
We embrace and support diversity, equality, and inclusivity. Our goal is to make Bosburcht a place where everyone can feel safe at all times and in all circumstances. Spread love, positivity, and joy to stay true to yourself.
Together, we are unique
We embrace and support diversity, equality, and inclusivity. Sexism, racism, homophobia, and any form of discrimination are not welcome here.
Respecting boundaries is sexy
In a place with so much freedom, boundaries can blur. Acknowledge each other's boundaries and ask for consent. Yes means yes, and anything else means no. Respect others' boundaries. If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in any situation, all our staff members are approachable.
You can always turn to our Welfare & Social Safety team. You can also approach them if you need rest, a quiet space, or a listening ear for any reason.
If you suspect someone’s boundaries are being crossed, check in with that person, approach a staff member, or visit the Welfare & Social Safety team.
If you want to talk about an experience or observation afterward, please contact us at socialsafety@bosburcht.nl.

Live in the moment
The moment itself is always much more fun than the photos. So turn off your phone and live in the moment. Respect the privacy of those around you. Do not take or post pictures without someone’s permission.
Take care of yourself
Non-stop festival means there's always a party going on somewhere. Eat and drink enough, be kind to your body. Make sure you rest in time to fully enjoy the moments when you dance. Step into your car well-rested when you're ready to head home.
Protect your hearing
With a lineup you’ll be licking your fingers for, it’s important to take care of your hearing. So, wear your earplugs, preferably with a special music filter. This way, you can still enjoy the music, have conversations, and protect your hearing! Win-Win-Win! Didn’t bring earplugs? We sell them at the camping shop.
Take care of the environment
We’re in a beautiful location. Let’s keep it clean and intact, and we all play a part in that. Don’t throw your cigarette butts on the ground, but use an ashtray, and dispose of your trash in a bin.
We are warmly welcomed into a beautiful castle filled with special items. Let these objects touch you, look at them closely with your eyes, but leave the objects themselves untouched – accidents happen, and many things here have been around longer than any of us.
