Accommodations

Assistance dogs

It is (legally) allowed to take your assistance dog to the festivalgrounds, but we want to stress that the festival is not an animal friendly environment because of the crowds, loud music and light effects. This accords to the advice of KNGF Geleidehonden: ‘We are not in favour of taking assistance dogs to festivals, concerts and other places with crowds and loud noises. The dog can’t do its job and looses its guiding function.’

Check their website

We want to party! Ok?

Yes, of course! We only ask that you remain respectful towards others and make sure that the festival will be just as fun for your surroundings as it is for you. Together with our partners Celebrate Safe and Are You Ok? we want to warn you for abuse of alcohol, unsafe sex or drugs and drunk-driving. Take care of yourself and your friends. For more information and to read the 10 pillars to Celebrate Safe, click below. We will be monitoring these rules during the festival. Any person who breaks the festival rule can be refused entry or will be evicted from the festival grounds. In case of discussion the organisation or one of the partners is always right.

Newsletter

I wish to know all the secrets...

Your best chance to unravel all the dirt is subscribing to our newsletter. That way you will be brought up to speed by email for all the latest Best Kept Secret line-up announcements and everything else festival related. You could always follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter as well.

Age?

At Best Kept Secret everyone is welcome. Young or old – everyone is welcome to enjoy the festival. Do, however, keep in mind that there are no special baby/child facilities available at the festival – nor do we provide special discounts for kids. If you are under the age of 16, you will need to be accompanied by an adult.

By shuttle buses

By bike

Excellent idea! You can park your bike next to the festival entrance, follow the white signs with a bicycle symbol. From Tilburg central station, it’s a half hour bike ride to the festival. So the calories for that one (just one!) extra beer have been burned already when you arrive.

By coach travel

By train from Belgium

Are you coming by public transport from Belgium? More specific: public transport that is sustainable, simple and extra cheap? Well, BelgianRail offers a special BKS round trip ticket for only €23,-! Buy your train ticket with discount here and also buy your shuttle bus ticket way in advance, to make sure you’re all set for your entire trip.

Best Kept Consciousness

Reducing single-use plastics

We at Best Kept Secret want to use plastic as consciously as possible. We do this by reducing the use of single-use plastics as much as possible, and by searching for alternatives. Already at the first edition in 2013, we have used a deposit system for drinking cups.  All beers and beverages are poured into plastic cups, which you can immediately return to any bar before the next round of drinks. This way, we prevent the use of tens of thousands disposable plastic cups. All other waste is offered separately to a processor, so it can be recycled as much as possible. Also, Best Kept Secret has been a cashless festival for several years, which means you can pay with your debit or credit card everywhere and we don’t need to print thousands of plastic tokens. All caterers (at the festival site and backstage) won’t use any plastic disposables in 2022. Instead of single-use plastics, we work with alternatives like cardboard and real tableware. We want to encourage the crew and the public as much as possible to use less plastic, such as disposable water bottles. One of the steps we take is to connect extra drinking water points, so visitors can bring their own refillable bother and refill it.

Buy a parking ticket

By car

Of course it’s possible to come to Best Kept Secret, but please try to carpool if you can because it’s so much better for all the trees on our festival site that we cherish so much. It’s even better to go by public transport. If you're coming by car, then buy a parking ticket in advance (it will save you money).

Wasps, caterpillars and other vermin

Best Kept Secret takes place in a beautiful natural area. Which has enormous advantages for the vibe at the festival site and the campsite, but there are a few disadvantages as well. For instance, nests of mosquitos, mice, ants, wasps and the oak processionary caterpillar can be present. The presence of these animals can’t always be predicted and is sometimes dependent on specific weather conditions. Like previous years, we will do our utmost best to reduce any possible inconvenience of vermin. The terrain manager (Beekse Bergen) will do extensive checks in advance of the festival and where possible, will take measures to reduce the presence of vermin. Any mention of vermin can be done at the information desks at the festival site and the campsite, or at the reception of the bungalow park. Always go to our Welfare tent when bitten or stung, just to be sure.

Kiss & Ride

Especially for you and your mom, we have the so-called Kiss & Ride route. This is clearly marked at the signs (Taxi / Kiss & Ride). Please exit at the designated place and meet up at the same spot when the day is done.

Route

Are you staying with us for the whole weekend and did you bring your own tent? Or did you book one of our pre-pitched tents at our Comfort Camp or Easy Camp? Then set your navigation to the following coordinates: 51.502891, 5.133682 (roundabout Tilburgseweg-N269), and turn it off once you see the yellow road signs of Best Kept Secret. Follow the yellow signs with a tent icon from there.

As green as its surroundings?

We are extremely thankful to be able to organize the festival in the amazing woodlands of Beekse Bergen. This is why we’re doing our best to preserve the environment as best as possible. Therefore, we employ a deposit system for drinking cups to avoid pollution. All beers and beverages are poured into plastic cups, which you can immediately return to any bar before the next round of drinks. We’ve been able to save almost two tons of plastic waste this way. We offer all other waste separately to the waste processor. We’ve conferred about this with our vendors to reduce the amount of food waste. Whatever remains will be supplied to the local food bank.      A fair chunk of our stages and backstage production runs on fixed voltage. This reduces the use of generators and spares thousands litres of diesel fuel. Every year, we make a concentrated effort to become an environment-friendly festival. That’s why we urge you to treat the area as respectfully as we do.

Parking ticket

With a parking ticket, you can enter and exit our parking lot unrestricted. A parking ticket costs you €22,50 (excluding €2,50 service charges) in the pre-sale and €35 (everything included) if you buy it from our parking attendant on the spot. Are you staying at a fixed accommodation from Beekse Beekse Bergen? Then you don't need a parking ticket (please note: some of the accommodations at Beekse Bergen don't have parking space. You will receive more information from Beekse Bergen in advance of Best Kept Secret).  The parking lots will open each day at 09:00 and close at 21:00. Of course, leaving the parking lot is possible at all times. With a parking ticket, you can enter and exit our parking lot unrestricted but please notify the parking attendant. You will receive a windshield sticker with which you leave and enter for the whole weekend. There’s only one sticker for each vehicle. The parking lots are unguarded and parking is at your own risk. Best Kept Secret accepts no liability for loss or damage of the vehicle (or anything inside it).

Camper/caravan spots

For years, the camper/caravan spots have been very popular and therefore have always sold out quickly. For the upcoming edition of Best Kept Secret, we managed to redesign the campsite to have more camper/caravan spots as we used to.

Leave and come back in

Sure! Show your ticket at the entrance, and you’ll receive a wristband. The wristband corresponds to the day(s) you’re attending the festival. Once you have your wristband, you can leave and enter whenever you want.

Stay for 1 night?

Unfortunately, you can’t. The campsite and the accommodations at Beekse Bergen are only accessible for visitors who’re staying the entire weekend. To camp with your own tent, you will need a weekend ticket including campsite ticket.

Accommodation page

Rent a (luxurious) tent!

Not in the mood to tediously lug a tent, pillows and mattress around and waste precious time setting them all up? We have plenty of comfortable pre-pitched tents and other accommodations available!

Hearing protection?

Wait… I didn’t catch all that. SAY AGAIN? Just kidding! It is in everybody’s own interest to take care of your ears, so you can enjoy (live) music for many years to come! Best Kept Secret uses state-of-the-art systems to monitor volume and are keen to abide the law enforced noise limits.      That said, we’d like to stress that you still wear some form of ear protection when you’re near one of the stages. Once the music jumps above 87dB, we recommend buying plugs with special music filters. That way, you can enjoy the music and still hear the people you’re talking to. At ILoveMyEars.nl you can find some useful tips how to protect your ears. A pair of good quality earplugs, which will protect your ears at the festival, you can get at the information desk on both the festival site and campsite. Cheaper basic plugs are for sale at every bar.

Go the the Beekse Bergen page

Bungalows, chalets and more

For Best Kept Secret 2022, Beekse Bergen will rent bungalows! Fixed accommodations of Holiday Park / Safari Resort Beekse Bergen can be booked through Beekse Bergen starting November 30.

Bas is the Best

How on earth do I fold my pop-up tent...

Quite possibly this is the most asked question we get regarding our campsite. To be honest, we’ve had little success ourselves. Thank goodness for this thing called the internet: on YouTube, this guy Bas is kind enough to give you some step by step instructions (in West Flamish) . Somebody give him a medal. Well, good luck!

Check the Privacy Statement

Audio and video recordings?

The organisation of Best Kept Secret, Friendly Fire, will be making video and audio recordings during the festival. We use this on our website or for social media like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or YouTube. Also, our media partners are recording video and audio for usage on their media channels, including radio and television. Recordings which are made for crowd monitoring can be used by Friendly Fire for safety reports. More info can be found in our Privacy Statement.

I still have a question...

Is your question not in this FAQ-section? Feel free to contact us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

I’m hungry...

You will find over fifty food vendors and mini-restaurants scattered across Best Kept Secret’s festival site. Whether you enjoy crab or chips, beet juice or fried snacks: our vendors have made cooking into a form of art. ‘The Van Gogh’s of the field’, as one British blog aptly put it. At Best Kept Secret, we aim to deliver a diverse and sustainable selection of foods and drinks. We take allergies and diets very serious. This doesn’t just entail fine vegetarian dinners and soups. We also realize the seasoned festivalite fancies a nice greasy meal every now and then…

Free tap water

You can find free water taps at the restrooms. At the bars we serve a wide assortment of non-alcoholic, alcoholic and warm beverages. At Best Kept Secret your plastic cup comes with a deposit, which brings a grand slam of benefits: better for the environment, better to drink from and, more importantly, better tasting beer entirely. We do not serve alcoholic beverages to visitors under 18 years old. Nor should you, because that’s prohibited.

Special nutrition or medicine?

First of all: several of our food vendors will offer suitable and healthy meals for vegetarians, vegans and visitors with an allergy. If you have special medical needs (e.g. if you are diabetic or coeliac) and need to bring in medication to the festival, you’ll need a doctor’s statement. Bring a printed version to Best Kept Secret to make sure our security knows why you are bringing medication. In case of other medical needs or questions, you can send an e-mail to: info@bestkeptsecret.nl.

Payment options

Simple, with either your debit or credit card. Cashless as it is. This means that at all bars, lockers, shuttle busses and food stands you will be able to pay with your debit or credit card. The pro’s are that you won’t need to get cash before the festival, don’t have to queue to buy tokens or to recharge your chip. Where ever you are, if your bank funds are sufficient, you will be able to pay directly without having to queue up to recharge a chip or to buy tokens. Another pro is that you won’t be left with a remaining balance on your chip on Monday.

Debit and/or credit cards

You will be able to use cashless if you have Maestro, VISA, Mastercard, VPay, JCB, Up and Diners. Unfortunately, American Express cannot be used, so please take that in consideration!

I have completed the payment, but have not yet received any tickets...?

You have received an e-mail from Paylogic with the request to personalize your tickets. After that, you receive your tickets directly in your inbox. Did not get the e-mail? Please contact Paylogic via the link below.

Debit/credit card lost or won’t function

If you lose your debit/credit card or your card won’t function, please go to the information desk. There you will be able to purchase special prepaid cards which can be used at the festival grounds. These cards can be purchased for a small fee by bank transfer, cash, credit card or debit card. At the information desk they are happy to help you out.

I have got a disability; can I come to BKS?

Of course! We are doing the best we can to make the area as reachable and accessible as possible, but unfortunately we can not guarantee that every bit of the wooded terrain can be accessed easily by people with disabilities or people in wheelchairs. Please send an email to toegankelijkheid@bestkeptsecret.nl, so we can give you special accreditation and instructions.      Pay attention: Best Kept Secret does not offer special tickets or discounts for visitors with disabilities or their carers. Everybody pays the same price.

Accessibility

Across the festival terrain lies a broad paved road that is easily accessible for visitors in wheelchairs. The biggest part of the campsite grounds are also accessible via paved roads. But keep in mind: Beekse Bergen is a natural environment, which means that there will be paths to the stages via sand and woods. It is not possible to take folding chairs or stools to the festivalgrounds. In every corner of the festival terrain, you can find plenty of places to sit or rest and relax. Scootmobiles are not allowed at the festival terrain because of safety.      Do you have doubts about the accessibility in your circumstances? Please let us know by mailing us at toegankelijkheid@bestkeptsecret.nl, so we can give you advice.

Getting to the festival grounds

Set up your navigation to Tilburgseweg 41, Hilvarenbeek and turn your navigation off when you see the yellow Best Kept Secret signs. Follow the sign with a wheelchair icon. Please note: did you make a reservation for an accommodation at the Safari Resort or Holiday Park from Beekse Bergen? Then you have to take an other route to your accommodation, see the information in the section 'Getting here'. All information about this can be found here. Do you use a wheelchair/ have walking difficulties and are you coming by car? Please let us know through toegankelijkheid@bestkeptsecret.nl. Mention the number of cars you’ll be coming with, and your license plate number. We will do our best to make sure you get a parking place closer to the entrance. You’ll receive your wristband for Best Kept Secret there as well. We have a limited number of parking places here, so please don’t wait too long with this request. From the disabled parking space it is still approximately 1 kilometer to the festival grounds, but this way it is way less crowdy. Also, the path is asphalted and easily accessible. Pay attention: the disabled parking space is not accessible without passing on your licence plate number to toegankelijkheid@bestkeptsecret.nl before the festival.

Stay at the campsite

It is possible to stay at the regular campsite. In the fixed toilet blocks you can find facilities for visitors with disabilities. Please pay attention: the campsite is a natural site, so it is possible some spots are not completely accessible.

Toilets for visitors with a disability

Next to the First Aid post, you can find a special toilet for visitors with a disability.

Weelchair platforms

Our two biggest stages have wheelchair platforms, which are exclusively meant for wheelchair users. Every wheelchair user can take one carer with them at the wheelchair platform: this does not have to be the same person every time of course. If the platform gets too crowdy, the festival staff may ask the carers to leave the platform if possible.

Excellent idea! You can park your bike next to the festival entrance, follow the white signs with a bicycle symbol. From Tilburg central station, it’s a half hour bike ride to the festival. So the calories for that one (just one!) extra beer have been burned already when you arrive.

Of course it’s possible to come to Best Kept Secret, but please try to carpool if you can because it’s so much better for all the trees on our festival site that we cherish so much. It’s even better to go by public transport. If you're coming by car, then buy a parking ticket in advance (it will save you money).

Especially for you and your mom, we have the so-called Kiss &amp; Ride route. This is clearly marked at the signs (Taxi / Kiss &amp; Ride). Please exit at the designated place and meet up at the same spot when the day is done.
