English: Larp in the Netherlands

The Netherlands has a sizeable number of Larps including a few with international players. There are many different Larp events in the Netherlands including small and larger ones, and a lot of different styles and genres such as: fantasy, historical, contemporary, post-apocalypse and sci-fi.

Don’t speak Dutch? No problem!

Most Larp’s have Dutch as their official language, though most Dutch people can speak English and have no problem switching to English- before, during and after the Larp. Many Larps already use some English terms or will add them in for you.

You could also make use of your English. Some Larps use English as “this person speaks another in-game language”. So the people who speak the same in-game language (which isn’t the “common” of that setting) can talk together in English.

We advice you to get in contact with the organisers of a Larp to see if they are able to accommodate English speakers. There are also a few Larps in which English is the main spoken language and their websites are in English too. They are marked in the list below as ‘Engelstalig’
