Who we are

D.I.Y. till we die

Rattle the Barn is not an idea on paper but a place built by people. There are no big structures behind this festival, only families, friendships and a shared belief in carrying, listening and living together.

The festival is located in a restored 160 year old brick barn at De Laerehoeve, Bart’s yard. Camping is free, so are the showers. Everyone is welcome exactly as they are.
