Ever wondered what Keukenhof looks like after it’s closed down from its normal tulip splendor? If you’re also a fantasy/medieval/renaissance fan, you can head to the Castlefest 2008 this weekend (1-3 August) for an interesting adventure.

To get an idea about what’s on offer, check out their activities page. In the “to do” section you can read about writer’s workshops, children’s activities, and much more. It looks pretty amazing. The website does warn that they may sell out on Saturday, so be sure to head there early if it’s in your plans for the weekend.

Directions can be found here.
