Our events are known to be very photogenic, whether it’s the terrain, our line-up or our beautifully dressed visitors. Of course we’d like to see photo-enthusiasts enjoying this all. In order to let things run smoothly, we have created a photography policy, so everyone will enjoy making photos and having their photo taken.
It is allowed to bring amateur photo and video equipment for personal use and image- and audio recordings that have been made at our events are solely for non-commercial purposes. For photography with cameras with detachable lenses, a photo pass needs to be requested.
Outside this policy are: mobile phones and tablets with photo/video possibilities, regular (digital) photo cameras without detachable lenses.
In case of doubt the organisation decides at its own discretion.
Apply for the Castlefest photo pass
Hobby photographers can apply for a special Castlefest photo pass, which allows them to make photos with a camera with detachable lenses during Castlefest. A prerequisite for this is to accept our Vana Events photography rules of conduct.
After applying you will receive a confirmation within 14 days. The photo pass can be picked up at the info desk near the entrance of the festival. A photo pass gives no free access to Castlefest and is only applies in combination with a valid ticket.
Applying needs to be done prior to the event. You can apply from the beginning of April 2025 onwards. The deadline to apply is July 16th 2025.
The deadline to apply has now passed. It is not possible to apply for a photo pass anymore.
When submitting this form I agree to and understand the Vana Events photography policy including the Vana Events Photography rules of conduct and privacy statement.
