Masterclasses

Masterclasses at Darklands are a way of passing on knowledge in our community. The instructors are either professionals or experienced in their field of expertise.

In 2023, the Masterclasses will be in a brand new, even quieter, heated tent to offer the best learning environment.  Each class lasts for one hour and is given in English.

‘Seats for each Masterclass are limited to 25. You can reserve your seat via the Darklands ticket shop on www.darklands.com. Seats come at a small fee starting at €10 to cover materials and instructors’ expenses. 

Masterclasses Area

The Masterclass area is located outside the building in a tent. You can access it by walking past the main entrance and you’ll bump right onto it.
