general
We only offer payment in cash on the festival site.
There are cash machines in Pasewalk (10-15 minutes by car, 20 minutes by bike). However, we recommend that you make sure you have enough cash before arriving at the festival site.
Car tickets can also be paid for by card on site.
Please leave your dogs at home. Guide and therapy dogs are allowed on the festival grounds, but please keep them on a leash at all times.
On one of the tent pitches, dogs are not allowed. The farmer there owns flocks of sheep and free-roaming sheepdogs, which could cause problems. However, we will find a suitable campsite where people with guide and therapy dogs can feel completely at home.
We will provide you with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks at our bars. You are allowed to bring your drinks onto the festival site, but please refrain from using glass bottles, which are a source of danger and which we have to dispose of at great expense. Our festival crews are partly financed by the proceeds from the bars.
On the Schlossplatz you will be provided with various vegetarian and vegan dishes at food stalls. There will be breakfast, coffee and cake as well as hot meals. To protect the environment, we have decided not to sell meat-based food on the Detect Classic Festival site.
The supply of drinking water on site is guaranteed. Drinking water points are signposted and marked.
We are eager to hear your opinion and look forward to feedback, constructive criticism and, of course, praise. Just send us an e-mail to: hello@detectclassicfestival.de
The Detect Classic Festival has been held at Schloss Bröllin (Bröllin Castle) since 2022.
The 800-year-old listed estate is located in the German-Polish border region around 40 km west of Szczecin and 130 km north of Berlin.
The former manor was converted into an "International Art Research Location" by a few creative minds in 1992 and, as the location of the schloss broellin e.V., is an important breeding ground for musical and artistic movements in the countryside.
The adress is:
Schloss Bröllin · Bröllin 3 · 17309 Fahrenwalde
Rubbish bins are available on the premises.
Please keep the area clean and bring pocket ashtrays.
arrival & departure
You can arrive at the festival from Friday, 7 August at 11 am.
You are not permitted to arrive on Thursday, as we will not yet have sufficient facilities in place at that time!
The festival site is open from 2 pm on Friday until 10 pm on Sunday.
You can then spend one more night at the campsites.
The nearest train station, which can be reached by local and long-distance transport, is in Pasewalk. This can be easily reached from Berlin by ICE in just under 1.5 hours and by local transport in around 2.5 hours.

During the week (Mon-Fri) there is the ILSE Bus app from VVG. You can use the app to book a call bus for up to 7 people between 08:00 - 18:00. The journey Pasewalk station - Bröllin costs €3.10 and can be easily pre-booked and then paid for in cash, for example. If a regular bus departs 30 minutes before or after the desired departure time, the journey will be refused and you will be directed to the regular bus.

awareness, participation & security
The Detect Classic Festival aims to bring people together through music, regardless of their origin, gender, religion, disability or age.
If you experience any kind of boundary violation, harassment, discrimination or simply feel uncomfortable, or if you witness such behaviour towards others, our awareness team is there for you around the clock. They will listen, offer support if desired, and focus on making the space safer for those affected. Specifically, in cases of sexual assault or other forms of discrimination. In such cases, expulsion from the festival is also a possible consequence.
There is an awareness contact point on our premises in the form of a tent and an adjacent awareness garden. In addition, there is a quieter awareness room located indoors.
You can find our tent marked on the site map. You can also find out how to reach us on every floor, at every bar and from anyone with a radio. Please feel free to talk to us if you see any barriers or need assistance to move around the site safely.
You can recognise the mobile awareness team by their purple shirts (with AWARENESS lettering), orange bum bags and, at night, by their fairy lights.
If you have any suggestions or questions before, during or after the festival, please feel free to write to us at awareness@detectclassicfestival.de.
You can read our detailed statement on awareness at our festival here.
By entering the festival grounds, you expressly agree to our awareness concept.
People with disabilities can purchase discounted festival tickets from the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern shop. Carers are admitted free of charge.
There is an accessible toilet on the festival site (in the German-Polish Centre). The shuttle bus is accessible.
Most of the site is paved or consists of grassy areas. The same applies to the camping sites. We recommend that wheelchair users bring a companion to help them get around the site. You are also welcome to contact our accessibility team to arrange specific support, for example. Send an email to: awareness@detectclassicfestival.de

Our wayfinding systems, our programme booklet, etc. are not accessible.

Do you have any questions or suggestions on how we can become more accessible? Send us an email at: hello@detectclassicfestival.de or detect@festspiele-mv.de
Our security staff will ensure that everything runs smoothly at the entrance and on the site.

Incidentally, the security staff are instructed to follow the instructions of the festival management and the awareness crew. If you observe anything else, please do not hesitate to report it to us.
Bags will be searched for glass bottles and dangerous objects at the entrance. By purchasing a ticket or walking through the portal, you expressly agree to our rules and our awareness concept.
