Tor Community Gathering 2025

Posted on Jul 8, 2025

Welcome to the event page for the upcoming Tor Community Gathering in Gelsted, Denmark. The event will take place from Friday, October 3rd, to Sunday, October 5th, 2025.

The event will take place at a scout cabin a bit outside of the small town of Gelsted. It’s the same venue used for the BornHack hacker festival.

Please pay attention to this page, as we will continue to update it with information on budgeting, sign-up, and adding entries to the FAQ.

Gelsted is the nearest train station. You can get there directly with trains coming in from Odense train station. We can pick you up at the station and get you to the venue.

You have a couple of options here.

  1. Most people will likely use the bunk beds available in the cabin. The cabins look like this:

  2. You can bring a tent, hammock or tarp and sleep outdoors.

  3. Bring an autocamper, a caravan, or sleep in the car.

Alternatively, there are a couple of smaller bed and breakfast venues in the nearby area, but we have no experience with these.

⚠️ Warning
For those planning on sleeping outdoors, there might be ticks still around in October.

What is a tick?

Directly from the BornHack info page:

Although a very small creature, a tick can do a lot of damage. So make sure to check yourself for any ticks that might have latched on to your body (a good time is when taking a shower).

There is more info about how to protect against and deal with ticks in general on this Denmark Expat page.

How much does it cost?

Our current estimate is 2100 DKK (~280 EUR) per person.

This includes the cost for the venue and all food, but does not include beer/beverages.

We will equally share all costs among participants. The estimate will fluctuate over time, as we learn more about the number of people and more details about the meals. Participants will pay at the end of the event when we know the real numbers.

What is the internet situation like?

The internet situation is best described as “so and so”. Prepare for a 90’s experience.

Do you have a packing list?

Not really, but here are a few things you will want to bring.

  • Bed sheets and pillowcase, or a sleeping bag
  • Towel

How can I reach organisers and other meeting participants?

You can use the (non-public) tcg2025 mailing list, to which you will be subscribed with the email address provided when signing up.

Some of us hang out in the IRC channel #tcg2025 at OFTC.net.

Where/how can I buy food/beverages?

We plan to buy food and beverages and prepare all meals together.

That said, there is a grocery shop in Gelsted, about 3 km away.

What will the weather be like?

Great question!

Not an easy one. But from September 12, a three week forecast might be useful.
