Practical info

Reusable cups

We use reusable cups during Het Groot Verlof.

How does it work?

  1. Pick up your first cup. Pay 1 euro (deposit) preferably by bank card (cash is also possible).
  2. Every time you buy a drink, you exchange the used cup for a clean one.
  3. At the end of the evening, or at the end of the festival summer, you exchange the cup again for 1 euro.

Do you need a sealable cup?
Bring your own. Only reusable cups are available.
