Goirle Juggling Festival 2026

We now organised the Goirle Juggling Festival two times, and it was a huge success! That’s why we’re doing it again, this time from February 6th to 8th, 2026. Mark your calendars!

At which festival can you find a gym that’s open 24 hours a day, all-day breakfast and lunch, beds, healthy catered meals, and a giant game room with cozy couches?! Exactly, at the GJF!

The location is ActiveStay in Goirle (https://activestay.nl/), which has several dormitories with bunk beds, a 400 m² hall, a large relaxation area right next to the hall for games (with a ping pong table and foosball table!!!), and a dining room with a kitchen where we can prepare our own breakfast and lunch. There are plenty of judo mats to create an acrobatics area, and of course, there’s all the space you need for juggling. Unfortunately, unicycling and aerial work aren’t possible in the hall.

We understand that GJF is a bit more expensive than some other festivals. We want to be transparent about this and explain why. As of 2026, the VAT rate on overnight stays in the Netherlands has increased from 9% to 21%, which is one of the main reasons for the price increase.

Here’s a breakdown of what your ticket covers, so you can see what you’re paying for:

• 🤹 Access to the 24/7 juggling hall: €20 per day
• 🛏️ Overnight stay: €15 per night
• 🍽️ Dinner: €15 per night
• 🥐 Unlimited breakfast, lunch, and snacks: €6 per day
