With a start time of 9:15 AM at Speelweide De Vosse, make sure to sign up early and be prepared for a morning filled with friendly competition.


Event Details: Time, Location, and Rules

Tonknuppelen is a centuries-old Dutch game where players attempt to knock barrels off their stand using a bat from a certain distance. Each barrel holds exciting surprises, including cash prizes and other special rewards. In this year’s competition, there are three main cash prizes up for grabs:

  • 1st place: €45
  • 2nd place: €35
  • 3rd place: €25

But that’s not all! Even if you don’t hit the jackpot, there are additional prizes to be won. Six kermis-related prizes are available for participants who come close to the winning throws. And if you don’t walk away with a big prize, there’s still a chance to win potjesgeld—10 lucky participants will receive €5 each.

To join the fun, simply register in advance through the event’s official website. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner, everyone is welcome to participate and enjoy the festivities. Make sure you’re at Speelweide De Vosse by 9:00 AM to check in and get ready for the game.


Tips for Participants

For those competing in Tonknuppelen, here are a few tips to maximize your chances of winning:

  • Aim with Precision: The key to winning lies in your accuracy. Take your time and focus on hitting the barrels with precision. A powerful swing is important, but control is what really matters.
  • Stay Relaxed: It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement, but staying calm will help you perform better. Take a deep breath before each throw, and stay focused on your target.
  • Watch Others for Techniques: Observe how other participants throw. You might pick up some helpful techniques or strategies that you can apply when it’s your turn.
  • Bring Your A-Game: Since there are multiple rounds, consistent performance is crucial. Even if you don’t win in the early rounds, each throw is an opportunity to improve.
  • Enjoy the Atmosphere: While the competition is fun, it’s also about celebrating the festival and enjoying time with the community. Laugh, cheer on others, and have fun throughout the event.
