Valorfest is a celebration of music, stories, and friendships!
For more than ten years, Bards of Valor have performed alongside a wide range of acts, forging bonds that grew into lifelong friendships. Valorfest exists to honour those friendships.

It’s an evening that spans symphonic and progressive, story‑driven rock all the way to heavy, folk‑infused metal. Valorfest is a night with a tale to tell.

Is it Halloween yet?
No, but close enough! We have a nice prize for the best outfit that will be given away at the end of the evening. So don’t be afraid and bring your best creepy or mythic costume.

Tavern Innocent
For one night only, Hengelo’s own “Home of Hardcore” Innocent, will turn into a bustling tavern, where music and friendship will go hand in hand with a large drinking horn full of beer!
