Staying overnight:
Accommodation is possible in “Berkerhof” hostel. This is a converted farmhouse with very simple facilities. The cost is €40.00 per night, including breakfast, a packed lunch, dinner and bedding wit duvet and transfers. The hostel is 3.2km away from the competition location. It is a pleasant walk for those who want to do this, but a free shuttle bus is also provided for transport to and from the competition, and the railway station at Weert. Practice facilities are limited at the hostel, but there are study rooms, with and without piano, at the competition location.

As mentioned above, this option provides simple accommodation – and that is reflected in the price. (A local hotel with all meals included will cost at least three times this price.) Therefore, don’t expect a lot of privacy, or 5-star treatment. However, you are here to focus on the competition. Many of our past students have formed friendships for a lifetime with the other flute players staying in the hostel. A support network of contacts is exactly what every flute player needs!

Looking forward to 2025:
In 2025 we will organize the Dutch International Flute Competition from April 22 to 27. This week we are organizing the 3rd Dutch International Piccolo Competition for the piccolo students!
