What kind of people will be at the Healing Festival?
The people who come to the Healing Festival are friendly, open and kind, of all ages, nationalities, colours and interests. And that's exactly the atmosphere there. The Healing Festival is co-created by all of us, everyone is an integral part of it and everyone contributes their energy, attitude and smile. Check out the video from last year's event. We think you'll feel like you're there with your own people.
What if I have no one to go with?
That's just great! Definitely come. It's the best way to immerse yourself in your experience and create so many friendships that you'll draw from it for a lifetime.
Can I take my dog?
Based on your feedback, we've decided that four-legged friends will not be allowed entry to the Healing Festival, either in the main area or the campsite.
How's the weather?
In August, the weather in the Czech Republic usually ranges from 15°C to a warm 25°C during the day. However, warm weather can also occur, with temperatures exceeding 30°C. It is always cooler at night, so it is advisable to prepare for a variety of conditions. We recommend checking the weather forecast before you go and preparing adequately, especially if you plan to stay overnight in a tent. We recoment to bring good sleaping bag for the night.
Can I pay by card at the festival?
This year, we’re switching to a fully cashless payment system. We’ll be using an "Open System", which means you can pay directly at vendor terminals using any of your own electronic payment methods – such as a debit or credit card, phone, smartwatch, chip, etc.
We won’t be using electronic wristbands that require topping up.
If you don’t have or prefer not to use a card or other electronic method (e.g., because you’ve saved up some cash you’d like to spend), you can purchase a prepaid card with cash at the festival entrance and use that instead.
Can I pay with cash at the festival?
No, cash payments will not be accepted inside the festival area.
All vendor stands and sales points will be equipped with payment terminals and will accept only card or electronic payments.
If you don’t have or prefer not to use a card or similar device, you can exchange cash for a prepaid card at the entrance, which can then be used throughout the festival.
Accommodation
Opening hours of the campsite
Wednesday, 10:00 to Sunday, 12:00 a.m.
Where will I sleep?
In case you want to sleep in the camp, buy a ticket with the name " Place for a tent in the camp - small" or "Place for a tent in the camp - large". To do this, you need to purchase a " Entry to the camp for 1 person" ticket for each person who will be sleeping in the tent. Another option is to book a "Ready to Sleep" tent which will be set up for you and equipped with two foam mats. We also offer the rental of entire glamping tents or one spot in a shared glamping tent for 5 people. The last option is to stay in nearby accommodation.
Where will I take a shower and how is hygiene ensured?
Showers and toilets will be provided. Toilets will be flushable in containers as well as classic cubicles.
Can I sleep in a tent city in a hammock? Do I have to pay full price?
This year it is not possible to sleep in a hammock due to the nature of the camp. The campsite is spacious and it is flat, but there are no trees to hang the hammock on.
Can I sleep in my car in the parking lot?
Yes.
I bought a "Place for tent in the camp - small/large". Do I also need to purchase an "Entry to the camp"?
Yes. If you buy this type of accommodation, you need to buy 1x ticket named "Entry to the camp for 1 person" for each person who will sleep with you in the tent.
I've bought a parking place for motorhome. Do I need entry to the campsite?
Yes. If you purchase this type of accommodation, you need to buy 1x "Entry to the camp for 1 person" for each person staying in the caravan.
I bought a Ready to Sleep tent or a glamp tent/space in a glamp tent. Do I also need to purchase an entrance to the campsite?
No.
What about parking place for motorhome?
Each motorhome is allocated a space measuring 4 x 7 meters, without a water hookup. When purchasing a parking pass, you can choose a spot with or without an electrical hookup. The pass does not include campground entry for the occupants. You will need to purchase a "Entry to the camp for 1 Person" ticket for each guest staying in the motorhome.
What will the campsite look like?
The campsite is located directly behind the castle garden and next to the parking area, so everything is within walking distance. The site is on level ground, and right next to the campsite, there’s a pond where you can swim. However, there are no trees within the camping area.
Do I get a discount on camping if I stay only one night?
No. The price for a tent spot and campground entry is fixed and does not vary based on the length of stay.
What if my tent is larger than the designated space?
If your tent exceeds the allocated space, please purchase an additional tent spot as needed. The campground capacity is set according to these parameters, and exceeding the reserved areas could prevent us from accommodating all guests. Thank you for your understanding.
