ILK Castle Camp 2027

ILK Castle Camp runs from Friday 18 to Monday 21 June 2027 at Kasteel de Berckt in Baarlo, Limburg — a four-day kinky festival on a castle estate, and the format I Love Kinky has spent a decade building towards. The programme runs pre-party on the Friday, the main event on the Saturday, a castle closing on the Sunday, and check-out on the Monday.

What makes a camp different from a party is that you live in it. Guests sleep in castle rooms, on the campsite, or in a camper or caravan pitch, and the site carries multiple indoor dance halls, workshops, shows, a shopping area, bars, a food court and — the detail that gets mentioned most — a spa and relax area with hot tubs, massages and a swimming lake. There are showers and toilets on the camping, professional first aid on site, limited power for pitches and limited parking, so book what you need early.

The rules are ILK's usual, applied over four days. Entry is strictly 20+ with valid ID. The dress code is compulsory during the evening programme — lacquer, leather, latex, rubber, PVC, neoprene, uniforms and what the organisers call castle-worthy outfits — and the doorbitch decides. Solo guests are explicitly welcome, which for a residential festival is worth saying out loud. Guest photography and video are not permitted anywhere, drugs are strictly banned, and bringing your own drink is not allowed. Outdoor music stops at 23:00 out of respect for the estate; indoors it runs until 03:00.

Tickets are sold through the organiser's own shop and were advertised at around €109 per person for the weekend, €89 for the Saturday only, and roughly €415 for a four-person group ticket when this page was written — accommodation is booked separately on top. Treat the figures as indications and confirm the exact amount at purchase; a festival this far out will move through tiers.

Line-ups for all three days are announced closer to the date.
