This theater weekend attracts approximately 120,000 visitors who all watch more than 150 performances from our own Netherlands, but also from the rest of Europe (France, Germany, England and Belgium). During Deventer Op Stelten, Deventer was thus transformed into one large theater.

You will find these performances throughout Deventer throughout the weekend. View from the terrace on the Brink or on one of the other beautiful squares. There are also theater performances in the park, in the cozy streets, the churches and in more diverse smaller locations. Combine a performance with one of the hotspots in Deventer.

Entry to this event is free . You do, however, need a ticket for some performances (which they are and ordering can be found here)
