The opening hours for Saturday are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The opening hours for Sunday are from 10 am to 7 pm.

VIP Elf ticket holders and Fast Elf ticket holders can not only enter through a special fast entrance gate, but can enter on both days from 9:30 in the morning.

There are no time slots.

We have decided not to apply time locks from April 2022.

Everyone visits Elfia as he or she wants. Dressed up or not dressed up, it doesn’t matter. But it obviously improves the atmosphere when visitors come in costume.

Airsoft, sharp stabbing weapons and Paintball weapons are legally NOT allowed on Elfia. More information about our gun policy can be found here.

We request that you accept and respect the House Rules and Visiting Conditions of the location. You enter the location at your own risk. Liability for damage that you incur during your stay at the location is excluded by the organization of the location.

There is an ATM on site.

However, we also recommend that you bring enough cash with you to avoid long queues.

The toilets at Elfia are free and have been gender-neutral since 2023. This means that there is no longer a distinction between women’s and men’s toilets. In principle, every toilet is available to everyone.

Despite the limit on the number of visitors, the total number of toilets has increased considerably.

The toilets are regularly cleaned by a separate team.

Yes, from 2023 separate lockers can be rented again via the Locker Company.

Due to the limited number of available lockers, we advise you to rent them in advance:

For Elfia Haarzuilens 2023: https://www.lockeronline.eu/event/ELFH23/

A medium locker with 2x USB charging option for €11 per day

A large locker for €13 per day

An Xlarge locker with 2x USB charging option for €15 per day

Unfortunately, it is not legally permitted to fly a drone above Elfia as a private individual due to the presence of crowds and buildings.

For more information, visit Rijksoverheid.nl.

Dogs are not allowed on all parts of the site (this is indicated by signs), but they are allowed on the site, provided they are kept on a lead. Other large animals (such as horses) are only allowed in consultation with the organization that grants written permission for this. All other animals such as birds of prey and pets (ferrets, etc.) are not allowed. In particular, the municipality of Utrecht, where the Party for the Animals plays an important role, strictly enforces the taking of animals that cannot be regarded as pets.

It’s not allowed to bring your own food and drinks onto the event site. A few sandwiches, one or two snacks and a bottle of water won’t be a problem. However, large quantities of food will be rejected by Customs. Entire picnic baskets full of course dinners or second & third breakfasts are therefore not the intention. (Sorry, hobbits!)

You are also not allowed to bring alcohol onto the premises yourself. As you may have noticed, the mead shop has not been on the grounds for the last few editions. This coming Haarzuilens, the shop is nowhere to be seen at all. This has everything to do with the regulations regarding alcohol at events and the catering permit.

Fortunately, some 40 different caterers can be found on the grounds! There are several options available for vegetarians, vegans, people who want to eat gluten-free or Halal. Do you have a special diet due to medical reasons or would you like a detailed overview of what you can go to at which caterer? Than please send an e-mail to elfoffice@elfia.com.

By the way, there is a drinking water point on site where free water is available.

The grounds of the Elfia are open to everyone, but there are restrictions for wheelchair users and the disabled because some parts are (more) difficult to access with a wheelchair. Disabled toilets are available on site.

The programming is not exactly the same. A number of program parts will only be shown on Saturday, some only on Sunday.

The opening hours of Elfia are:

18 & 20 September 2020: 9 am – 8 pm

It is allowed to breathe fire, but you must bring your own material. You should breathe fire with care and make sure you don’t harm anyone or anything. And you must follow the instructions of the Elfia organization and/or fire brigade at all times.

Unfortunately, the castles will be closed during Elfia. Both the castle Arcen during Elfia in September, and the castle De Haar during Elfia in April.

Through your personal Eventbrite account, it is possible to upgrade your tickets for a small fee, this is called a “transfer”. You can upgrade a ticket for a single day to a Weekend ticket or upgrade your Sunday ticket to a Saturday ticket. You can change a parking ticket without the need to pay a fee.

Please note that for each ticket there are two price tiers, with and without a discount for kids. Unfortunately Eventbrite doesn’t make this clear in the transfer proces, be aware to select the highest price variety if your upgrading a ticket for adults.

NB: Two separate day tickets for Saturday and Sunday are not equal to a Weekend ticket and will not grant you a wristband and passport.

Purchased tickets cannot be taken back, this can be read in our terms and conditions.
