In April 2024, we christened the Westerkerk as our own ‘Podium Explore’. This location, set in the heart of Leeuwarden, always had been one of the most beautiful locations in our November festival, and now it is home to all the experiences we have to offer the whole year round!
Open every Friday from noon to midnight for lunch, dinner, and programmed events!
Agenda
Mythical stories, open mics, and daydreaming on yoga mats
Here at Podium explore, our artists conjure smiles on your face in joyful, poetic parties, you’ll listen to mythical stories, see the newest generation of writers and word artists showcase their stuff, and much more. Wanna lay on a yoga mat, listening to stories while daydreaming to a projection on a cathedral ceiling? Want to send your fellow players home with knick-knacks during Kutzooibingo? You can do all of that at Podium Explore! You can even take the stage yourself during various open-mics or come for a snack in our cafe.
Cafe
Our cafe in Podium Explore is open every Friday from Noon to Midnight for delicious lunch, coffee, pastries, and a (vegetarian) dinner menu that changes weekly. From beet burgers to choco-chili, there are always (scrumptious!) surprises to expect from our chefs.
