Dogs are not permitted in all areas (watch the signs), but are allowed on the festival if they are leashed. Other big animals (like horses) are only allowed if the organisation has given written permission. All other small animals like raptors and predators (e.g. ferrets) are not allowed!

Officially, bringing your own meals and beverages is not allowed. There will be checks for high quantities at the entrance. We will make exceptions for people with special diets, as long as they can prove this when asked.
For people with a special diet, please send an e-mail to elfoffice@elfia.com. On the festival grounds are two clean drinking water points where you can get free water.

The festival grounds of Elfia are open for everyone. However, there are limitations, as not all parts are easily accessible for wheelchairs. On the grounds are accessible toilets.
Castle garden Arcen have no wheelchairs available, but they do have accessible toilets.

Unfortunately there was to little interest in a Friday for Elfia Arcen 2020, therefor we had to decide to cancel this day. Ticketmaster has informed ticket buyers of this and they have refunded any tickets sold for Friday. You are more than welcome to join Elfia Arcen 2020 on Saturday the 19th or Sunday the 20th.

Face masks are not mandatory, as long as there is no obligation from the municipality to wear face masks. The walking route is spacious enough to keep 1.5 meters between other visitors. But if you prefer, you can of course wear a face mask!

Due to COVID measures and to spread visitors more upon entry, the opening and closing times have been adjusted in consultation with the municipality. Opening hours will be 9:00 am until 8:00 pm.

Everyone visits Elfia the way they want. Dressed up or not, that doesn’t matter. However, it does improve the atmosphere when visitors come in costume.

Airsoft weapons, sharp, pointed weapons and Paintball weapons are legally NOT allowed at Elfia. More information about our weapon policy, you will find here.

Face masks are not mandatory, as long as there is no obligation from the municipality to wear face masks. The walking route is spacious enough to keep 1.5 meters between other visitors. But if you prefer, you can of course wear a face mask!

Due to COVID measures, Elfia is forced to work with time slots of an hour each. This means that not everyone can come in at the same time but spread between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. Once inside, you can stay as long as you want until closing time. Elfia closes at 8 p.m. on all days. When you buy a ticket, you can select an access time that is still available. NB: if you can not make it within your timeslot, you can still enter after the end of the last timeslot of that day, so after 12 a.m.

Unfortunately, a civilian is prohibited by law to fly a drone over Elfia due to the presence of crowds and buildings.

For more information see Rijksoverheid.nl.

The program is mostly the same on both days unless otherwise stated. It may happen a band, entertainer or special guest can only attend for one day.
As it is nearly impossible to attend all activities in one day, it is worth it to come the whole weekend to Elfia.

There is an ATM on the grounds.

Still, we advise you to bring enough cash money to avoid long queues.

The opening hours of Elfia are:

18 & 20 September 2020: 9 am – 8 pm

Toilet visits will be free as from September 2021

Fire breathing is allowed, yet you will have to bring your own materials.
You should be aware of your surrounding and make sure no one and nothing gets harmed. At all times, you need to follow the instruction of both Elfia organisation and the Fire Department.

Because of the COVID measures, the municipality of Venlo and the Safety Region asked us to limit the number of visitors by more than half a day. As a result, the number of tickets is more limited. However we still want to give most of the Elfians a chance to visit Elfia. Therefore we have decided not to sell weekend tickets. Of course, it is not forbidden to buy tickets for several days, but we do not encourage it.

Please read our statement here.

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.

Bought tickets cannot be returned, you can read about this in our terms and conditions.

Children up to 2 years old can visit Elfia for free. For children aged 3 to 11 we have a special discount ticket.

All other visitors pay the normal admission fee.

Yes, it is possible to scan tickets off of a smartphone. This makes paper tickets unnecessary. Do make sure your phone battery is fully charged before coming to the event!
Also, your phone screen should be intact and we will ask you to put your screen to full brightness. This way scanning goes fast and the visitor flow will continue quickly.

The parking tickets cost €10,- each and are sold per day. Each ticket is only valid once.

This means that if you leave the parking during the day and come back later, you will need to purchase a new ticket.

Parking tickets can be bought both online and at the cash register of the castle and are validated when you drive off.

Avoid long queues for the cash register and buy your tickets online
