Every year, we bring our festivals to life with the help of an incredible team of volunteers. Whether you're supporting the build-up, working behind the bar, or welcoming visitors at the entrance, your role is what makes it all come together. Not only will all volunteers have free access to the festival and other community events, you will also receive additional rewards depending on the type of shift you pick.

If you're interested, sign up via the Volunteers page (https://lentekabinet.com/about/volunteers), and we will contact you with more details when you register. We’d love for you to be part of Lentekabinet.

The minimum age for our visitors is 18 years. We might ask for your passport or ID at the entrance.

Lentekabinet festival is part of Dekmantel and operates independently. We are transparent and committed to maintain an ethical approach in all aspects of our organization. We stand firmly against the ongoing genocide in Palestine. While no act of support or financial contribution can fully address the suffering, we strive to contribute through donations and various fundraisers. Additionally, we create space for expression at our events, welcoming forms of solidarity shared by artists and visitors alike. We recognize that these efforts cannot solve such large-scale injustice, and we don’t present our efforts as solutions. We continue to explore how we can deepen our engagement and responsibility as a cultural platform.

If you still have a question, email us at support@dekmantel.com, we're happy to assist you.
