Memories are made to last
Therefore here we show our past
The 2024 Edition took place on the 9th of June. The festival grew a little, in size but also in charm. We began investing in our own audio equipment so that we could be less reliant on needing to borrow all our technical items. We were also able to reserve an extra area of field next to our usual location so that we had more space to spread out.
Thanks to a sponsorship by StEHven, we were able to invest in more facilities!
On Sunday, June 11th, Fantasy Court returned from 11:00 to 18:00. This edition again featured vendors selling their items at a market, epic battles for both veterans and beginners during the LARP-swordfighting tournament, beautiful music made by various artists, and the possibility to win plushies during archery! It was great to see the festival grow - in fact, we started reaching the space limits of our field.
Fantasy Court 2023 took place on the campus of the Eindhoven University of Technology on the Koeveld.
The 2022 edition of Fantasy Court was a grand success, especially after all the lockdowns. The vibe was festive as always, with with a market, a LARP swordfighting tournament, and archery, just like in the good old days! For this reason, this edition also had a special theme: Open the Gates!
In 2022, we cooperated with the LARP Platform to create a LARP-corner, where different LARP organisations together hosted a cosy corner for new people who are interested in LARP and the whole world around it. Furthermore, extra activities like a NERF shooting range were set up, meaning that there were a lot more fun things to do throughout the day itself.
Fantasy Court 2021 took place online on this very website, where vendors who would have normally attended a physical event each got their own subpage. These subpages consisted of great photos, fun facts about vendors or Fantasy Court itself, and of course the items sold by each vendor. By “walking around” the digital festival, you got to know the answers to the treasure hunt, which would give you a chance to win the last LARP Xperience box from the LARP Platform!
The winner of the treasure was announced through our social media. Congrats!
In collaboration with the LARP Platform, we wrote an article about Fantasy Court! What can you do there? Who is the organisation? Where can we be found? This (and more) is explained in combination with a set of beautiful pictures!
The Cursor made a video and wrote an article about Fantasy Court 2019. It was pretty warm that day, but nevertheless the day was very successful!
Fantasy Court 2019 took place on the afternoon of the 2nd of June 2019, on the campus of the Technical University of Eindhoven. In order to ensure success, we ordered an extra serving of good weather. Sadly, we got a bit too much sun, resulting in high temperatures. This wasn’t enough to spoil the fun, though, and with an additional layer of suntan, we managed to make it a beautiful event full of amazing stories, brave combat, and all-around fun.
The festival originally started back in 2016 as the LarpBattle, followed by two successful editions of Fantasy Court: Fantasy Court 2018 and Fantasy Court 2017 . Since then, the festival has kept being developed to grow even better each year.
We also participated in the “Freedom is” freedom festival on May 5, 2017.
One of the organisers, and several members of the student association we are connected to, also participated in an interview about what LARP actually is, and how incredibly cool it is! (Interview is in Dutch)
See you at the court!
