Dive into the magical world of Freshtival on 6, 7 & 8 June 2025. An extraordinary adventure, bigger than ever with 200+ artists, 13+ stages and a fabulous campsite. Your escape for three days in a row. Say ‘yes’ to a thousand new emotions, flirty winks and musical wonders. Or as we say: “Escape the ordinary and dive into another world“.

Freshtival is accessible from 18 years and older. Although we’d love to have each and every one of you, we can’t make any exceptions, not even if your birthday is the day after the festival. If in doubt, we will ask for a valid proof of identity.

If your 18th birthday happens to be on the day of the festival, you’re more than welcome to celebrate this special day with us.

Of course! You can rent an E-locker at the entrance of Freshtival and at the campsite. These are lockers with a code. So keep your code safe and beware of people watching you. You can use the locker with that code throughout the day.

Size of a locker is: 30 cm wide, 40 cm deep and 24 cm high.

Lockers at the campsite
Size of a locker is: 30 cm wide, 40 cm deep and 24 cm high.

Receive locker code
Have you ordered an E-locker online? You will receive your unique code at 8 a.m. on the day of your visit.

At the festival, you can get your locker via a QR code and an online payment. This does not apply to camping lockers; here you pay by card (PIN).

No worries! We also thought of this. You can buy power banks at all merchandise stands, fresh points and at the campsite’s supermarket.

There is no running water in the toilets, but there is disinfectant. The Fresh Village campground does have running water at the toilets.

You are required to be able to identify yourself. We randomly check for this at the entrance. Has your ID card been lost or expired? Then report it to your municipality for a Declaration of Loss. Together with a document proving it is you, you can then identify yourself.

Unfortunately, no cigarettes or other tobacco products are available on the festival grounds or the camping area. Smoking is also not allowed in any of the festival tents!

Yes, these are available at the merchandise stand on the festival grounds.

Freshtival has many tents, these offer you a dry place to stay at all times and here you have all the options to keep going! In addition, we have wooden floors at all areas so that you don’t have to walk in the mud. Of course we also have ponchos. So good weather or bad, it’s always Freshtival weather!

Yes, we do! Check out this image to see how it works.

We collect all found items during and after Freshtival. Everything that is not collected on the day itself is handed over to the municipality. All items will be placed on the ‘Lost or Found’ website approximately 2 business days after the event. You can also make a report there yourself if you have lost something: see their FAQ for more information.

Forgot something in your locker?
If you have left something in your locker, you can contact Eventsafe via this form. They collect all left items in the lockers.

Naturally, much attention is paid to eating and drinking at Freshtival Weekend. Enormously diverse, colorful, worldly and of course delicious.

You are not allowed to bring your own food and/or drinks.

Every year, we try to present the widest (and tastiest) range of food possible. For each foodtruck, we will put the dishes together on a special page. If a dish is gluten-free, lactose-free, contains nuts or is vegetarian, it will be mentioned behind the dish. Bon appetit!

We understand that you don’t want to take any risk of cross-contamination or that the food line up might be too limited. You can bring your own gluten-free food in exceptional cases. Please note: bring only food for yourself. Indicate this during the visitation upon entry so that security is aware of this.

It is important to read the house rules before you enter the site, because only then you know exactly what you can expect from yourself and your festival visitors. You will find the house rules just before the entrance. Take a moment, we have kept it as short as possible.

• Food & Beverages
  It is not possible to bring food and drinks on the festival grounds. There is plenty of opportunity to eat and drink at Freshtival. Delicious snacks from all corners of the globe, pizza points, fries, burgers: Freshtival really has it all! Please note that different rules apply when checking in at the campsite. You are allowed to bring food and drinks with you the first time.

• Liquids
  For safety reasons it is also not allowed to bring liquids on the festival grounds (so no deodorant, deodorant rollers, hair spray etc.) On site there is ample opportunity to freshen up or to update your hair.
• Drugs, weapons and other prohibited substances
  In short: everything that can hurt yourself or someone else or cause injury. At the entrance there is a complete list with everything that is forbidden. Freshtival has a zero tolerance policy on the presence, use of- and trafficking of drugs.

Yes this is allowed, but only if it:

• is spreadable (so no spray bottles);
• is still in a new, unused package.

In principle it cannot be crazy enough for us, the only thing we do not want is offensive, racist, condemning clothing / statements. It is also not allowed to come in clothing that makes you recognizable as a group. Freshtival is a low-threshold event where everyone must be able to feel at ease!

It is not permitted to include (semi) professional photography and video equipment (with interchangeable lenses) on the festival grounds. Smartphones and small compact cameras with a built-in lens are allowed.

In addition, the Freshtival media team will be present throughout the weekend to record every corner of Freshtival. These images will be posted online after the event.

A selfie stick is allowed, just like a GoPro. Shoot a nice photo or make a cool video and don’t forget to send it to us (info@absolutelyfresh.nl). But make sure that you don’t bother other people.

Promotion is prohibited on and around the site of Freshtival. This will therefore be strictly monitored. Any fines and / or cleaning costs will be recovered from the relevant persons and / or organizations. So be warned!

For advertising opportunities you can contact us via our contact form.

At Freshtival you pay with tokens that you can use all weekend. You can purchase the tokens with your debit card / credit card (Mastercard / VISA / Maestro) or in cash.

During Freshtival Weekend, you can buy tokens at the counters at the entrance, the counters scattered around the festival site and/or at the info desk (for camping visitors).

But soon you can also buy your tokens in advance online in our ticket shop. After entering, you can collect these tokens at the pre-sale tills with your printed ticket or via the ticket on your mobile.
All (pre-sale) counters are indicated on the floor plan.

Yes, the tokens for Freshtival 2025 are valid for the entire weekend, both on the festival grounds and on the campsite.

Medicines, food and liquids that are necessary due to allergies or illnesses may be taken in combination with a medicine passport. A medication passport is available from any pharmacy. Please allow for an application time of approximately 3 weeks.

Too late to apply? Bring something along that shows our security staff that you really need the medication, food or liquids.

Allergic to gluten?
On site we have gluten-free food available in small amounts. We understand that you don’t want to have any risk of cross-contamination or that the food line up might be too limited. You can then bring your own (i.e. for 1 person) gluten-free food by way of high exception.
Please note: Indicate this during the visitation upon entry so that security is aware of this.

Every year we look forward to the arrival of the young mothers who don’t want to miss Freshtival! Of course we have thought of these young mothers, because they sometimes need a moment to arrange some (important) things. This is of course possible with us in the first aid. You can just walk in here and you don’t have to report this in advance.

We consider safety at our event very important. If you experience (serious) health complaints after our event, please share them with us at info@absolutelyfresh.nl.

The health complaints will be collected and if necessary, the type and number of health complaints will be shared with the Public Health Service for notification.

Then it’s best to take a look at our transport page. All information about this clearly arranged.

The campsite is close to the festival site at Recreatiepark Het Rutbeek. This way you will get from your tent to your favorite area in no time. Hopping there, and crawling back! The navigation address is Haaksbergerstraat 1010, 7548 PC Enschede. Turn off your navigation as soon as you see the yellow ‘Freshtival’ / ‘Camping’ signs.
