About Medieval & Fantasy Festival Winschoten
Medieval & Fantasy Festival Winschoten
From 14 to 16 August 2026, Winschoten in Groningen will be hosting something you don’t come across everywhere: a festival that combines the medieval and fantasy worlds. The venue is Stadspark in Winschoten, postcode 9671 – a public green space in the heart of the town, easily accessible and centrally located.
This festival stands out for its broad approach. Yes, there is room for classic medieval elements – crafts, history, traditional skills – but also for fantasy elements. That makes it appealing to a wider group of visitors. Whether you’re purely mad about history or also find sci-fi and fantasy magic appealing, you’ll find something to your liking here.
August is a strong month for festivals. It’s holiday season, the weather is warm, and many families are travelling. Winschoten in the northern Netherlands is easily accessible and lies within a growing urban region. The Stadspark is an excellent venue: open, green and suitable for all sorts of activities.
