Questions we are frequently asked
On Sunday, we want to enjoy breakfast together, and you're welcome to bring anything you love on your bread roll.
On all other days, you can also purchase fresh rolls from us during breakfast time.
The brickworks site where the homeward festival takes place is at best barrier-free. In addition to the uneven meadows, which become muddy when it rains, as well as the slopes on our site, we are not barrier-free. However, the wheelchair-bound visitors of recent years have proven that this is not an insurmountable obstacle. You will find barrier-free porta-potties at the toilet container as well as on the campsite.
We want more accessibility and participation at the homeward festival. Do you have specific needs so that you can take part in the festival? Then please send us an email to
We can't make any promises, but we would like to find solutions together so that you can be there. The focus is on people with disabilities, whether visible or invisible. We look forward to hearing from you. We would also be happy to receive feedback and improvements for next year. For more inclusion on a common homeward journey.
If you run out of cash, you can withdraw money from the bureau de change using your EC card.
Please leave your confetti at home to protect the environment! After the festival, the meadow must look like it did before. As you can imagine, confetti is incredibly difficult to pick up and flies away quickly. Be mindful of nature.
Please take full responsibility for your pet’s well-being.
At Homeward, dogs must be registered at the entrance and kept on a short leash at all times. If your dog is not used to strangers or crowds, please equip them with a bite guard (muzzle or Halti).
