IJzertijdboerderij Dongen: a farmyard to explore

The IJzertijdboerderij (Iron Age Farm) in Dongen presents a reconstruction of a farmyard and activities around daily life in the Iron Age. The open-air character and the seasonal schedule determine how you plan your visit.

Crafts in the farmyard

The provider mentions activities including making fire without matches, working with clay, forging and archery. Ask which activities are taking place on the day of your visit and which you can take part in yourself. The list describes what is offered; not every activity is necessarily available at all times.

Theme days with their own programme

Besides the regular Saturday afternoons, special theme days and weekends are announced. These may have a different focus or offer an extra Sunday opening.

Outdoors and by appointment

Regular opening runs from April to October. For other days or a guided group tour, arrangements must be made in advance. Discuss how easy the site is to get around if that matters for your party. According to the visitor information, dogs are not allowed because of the sheep on site.

On arrival, ask which crafts are on offer that afternoon.
