# Event Details

- **Event Name**: IRON FEST - festival of Slavs and Vikings
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: ‼️‼️‼️ ATTENTION ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ 
Dear Reenactors,

As you probably already know, our planned festival in Westendorp has been canceled. Despite many months of preparation, a tremendous amount of work, and our sincere efforts, we were unable to successfully complete all the formalities required to organize the event at this location.

This is not the news we wanted to share with you, but we had to respect the authorities' decision and make the responsible decision to cancel the festival in the Netherlands.

BUT!

Thanks to the invaluable help and hospitality of our friends at Tyrs Fimbulvetr, we managed to find an alternative solution. They have made their space available to us, allowing us to continue our joint initiative.

The festival will take place on the same dates, but at a new location in Germany:

54576 Hillesheim

The event will be a private gathering of reenactors, without the participation of the public or tourists. For this reason, we are introducing an entry fee of 5 euros per participant.  The most important thing for us is that, despite adversity, we can meet again, share a passion for history, sit by a common fire, and stand shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield.

Due to the change in location and format, we ask all teams and participants planning to attend the event to reconfirm their attendance. This will allow us to properly prepare the venue and ensure the smooth running of the event.

Thank you for your understanding, support, and trust. We hope to see you all at the new address.

Sincerely,

Järn Galtarna Team
