Get surprised, laugh out loud, be moved, enchanted, or simply super curious. De Betovering offers over 400 activities: theatre shows, films, art workshops, and hands-on fun!

What’s on?

From the Royal Theatre (Koninklijke Schouwburg) to Theater De Vaillant, and from De Regentes to Amare, De Betovering brings you the most special and beautiful performances from the Netherlands and abroad every year. Prefer to get hands-on? All over the city, you can join workshops in museums, community centres and cultural venues. Or let yourself be surprised by unique installations and street theatre popping up throughout The Hague. You definitely won’t be bored this autumn break!

Free activities

At our festival centre, in local libraries, and at 5 Betovering Outdoors locations, you’ll find loads of free activities to join. You’ll find the festival centre at Theater aan het Spui, come say hi!
