Who we are
D.I.Y. till we die
Rattle the Barn is not an idea on paper but a place built by people. There are no big structures behind this festival, only families, friendships and a shared belief in carrying, listening and living together.
We play in a restored 160 year old brick barn at De Laerehoeve, Bart’s yard. Camping is free, so are the showers. Everyone is welcome exactly as they are.
Practical
Getting here
Half an hour from Bruges and Ghent, out in the fields. Coming by car? You camp on the field across the road.
Camping & showers
Free, on the field across the road. Hot showers on site.
Car, bike, train
Free parking in the meadow beside the yard. Bike racks at the gate.
Accessibility
Wheelchair spaces and a paved path all the way to the barn. Let us know in advance.
Short and simple
No racism, no sexism, no nonsense. Dogs are welcome on the campsite, not in the barn.
