Nestled just a short drive from Ghent, Park van Beervelde is an enchanting 25‑hectare castle park designed in the classic English landscape style in 1873. Its gently rolling meadows, winding woodland paths, tranquil water features and open grasslands create a seamless blend of manicured landscape and natural beauty; a setting that feels both serene and alive. Whether you’re exploring beneath towering oaks or taking in the reflections on the lake, the park invites visitors to stroll, relax and absorb its fairytale atmosphere.
Originally envisioned as a showcase for early Ghent horticulture by the de Kerchove de Denterghem family, the park has remained in the same family since its creation and continues to be stewarded with care. Today, Park van Beervelde is not only cherished for its historic gardens but also for its cultural heritage, from woodland gardening and diverse plant biotopes to striking architectural features such as the villa and ornamental pavilion. Its layout was designed so that “everything is manmade, but it appears natural,” giving visitors an effortless sense of wonder as they move through the landscape.
The village of Beervelde, part of the municipality of Lochristi, sits in the heart of East Flanders’ horticultural region; a place known for its rich growing tradition and scenic countryside. Beervelde has long been a destination for nature lovers and garden enthusiasts, drawing local visitors and international guests alike, particularly during the internationally renowned Beervelde Garden Days held each May and October. Beyond festivals, the region’s verdant fields, quiet lanes and historical charm offer plenty to explore, from leisurely walks to cultural escapes in nearby Ghent.
It’s precisely this blend of rich greenery, textured landscape and timeless elegance that makes Park van Beervelde such a fitting home for From Dusk Till Dawn Open Air. Set against a backdrop of romantic vistas, rolling lawns and dappled woodland light, our festival experience is elevated by the pure sense of place; one where natural beauty and musical exploration meet in harmony.
