Magical experiences for children at the Fantasy Festival
The Fantasy Festival is for the whole family – and there are plenty of magical experiences for all children when Esbjerg transforms into a world full of adventure, magic, and villains from 19–21 September 2025.
Everyone is welcome to explore the festival’s open areas completely free of charge. Here you can soak up the atmosphere in Riddersalen at Hovedbiblioteket, visit the stalls at Markedspladsen, wander through Esehaven, or experience the magic at Torvet and at Esbjerg Streetfood.
The wristband – your key to all the magic
If you want full access to the festival’s many activities and workshops, you’ll need an activity wristband. With the wristband, children can unleash their creativity in Slime Workshop, try their hand at Pokémon, explore Magiskolen BROGG, or get sparkles on their cheeks from GlimmerMarie.
An activity wristband also gives access to all talks without a separate ticket and secures discounts for, for example, Fantasy Quest Esbjerg and special events at Musikhuset.
Children aged 0–7 participate free of charge and will receive a free wristband at the ticket counter.
Children aged 8–12 need a children’s wristband to take part in workshops and activities.
