Ramsel – Kermis 2027
What to expect
Kermis Ramsel 2027 brings the funfair to the Belgian village of Ramsel during Ascension week. The municipality of Herselt gives the dates as Saturday, 1 May, to Thursday, 6 May 2027. However, the funfair is closed on Tuesday, 4 May. On the first day, it is scheduled to open from 17 o'clock.
Kermis Ramsel 2027: location and schedule
The funfair traditionally takes place in the church square in the centre of Ramsel. For directions, use Plein Ramsel on Ramselsesteenweg, 2230 Ramsel. The venue is known from a previous official announcement; a new site plan showing all the showmen's positions for 2027 has not yet been published. So before you travel, check whether any locations have changed.
The fair is part of the municipality of Herselt's annual calendar. Unlike the funfair in the centre of Herselt at Pentecost or the Bergomer Easter funfair, Ramsel has its own dates around Ascension Day. You can compare other events nearby using the funfair calendar.
Rides and village atmosphere
Kermis features the typical showmen's attractions and food stalls. However, there's no official list yet of which rides will be set up for 2027. So no attractions from the previous year are being announced as confirmed. Once the detailed site plan is available, the rides and operators can be identified clearly.
The funfair is also a meeting place for people from Ramsel and the neighbouring villages. In previous years, other activities were part of Ramsel's festival week. For example, a Kruiwagenkoers (wheelbarrow race) was announced for Ascension Day in 2026. Whether this or other activities will take place in 2027 has not been confirmed separately, so they are not listed as current programme events.
Rest day and low-stimulation hour at Kermis Ramsel 2027
Tuesday is important for your visit: on 4 May 2027, the funfair rides will remain closed according to the municipal plans. Monday, 3 May, is a funfair day. For the Ramseler Kirmes, the municipality also plans a low-stimulation period on Mondays from 16 to 18. Loud music and striking lighting effects will be reduced during this time. This may make the visit more pleasant for visitors who are sensitive to sensory stimuli.
The full daily opening hours for 2027 have not yet been published. The funfair regulations do specify permitted and mandatory operating periods, but these are not the same as a specific daily schedule. The municipal website confirms that it starts on Saturday at 17. Prices and special offers have not yet been announced.
Getting there, admission and latest information
For navigation, you can use Ramselsesteenweg or the church square in Ramsel. The parking arrangements and any road closures for the funfair 2027 have not yet been confirmed. If you are travelling by public transport, it is also worth checking the latest timetable. The municipality publishes the dates and practical information on its official funfair page.
For 2026, the funfair was described on the event portal as free to enter. No explicit price information for 2027 is available yet; rides are charged separately in any case. So check the official information shortly before the fair, especially if you want to visit a particular attraction.
