Celebrate summer at the Summer Café XL at the South Park Theatre, where everyone is welcome to come together, relax and enjoy a free programme.

Central on this day is the summer market led by Aleid Hagemeijer. Once again, she will set up a market with free food especially for those less fortunate. Aleid has been tirelessly helping families in The Hague for years and this market has grown into a warm and familiar part of the Summer Café. A collection will start soon, the more donations, the bigger the market!

There are also plenty of other activities for young and old. At the Repair Café Den Haag, you can have your broken fan or other appliances repaired (please register your repair in advance via repaircafedenhaag.nl). MuseumLAB of Museon-Omniversum organises the RePLAY workshop, in which children aged 8 to 14 learn to repair, dismantle or upcycle broken toys. In this way, they playfully discover the world of electronics, technology and sustainability. The Dance Palace lets everyone dance and builds an old-fashioned dance party.

On the site you will also find the Farmer's Village, where you can learn how to grow your own vegetables on your balcony or in your garden. At the Library of The Hague stand there is lots to do; dance at the silent disco, take a picture together, participate in lots of fun games and take a look at the free bookcase! You can also talk to the Buurtcamping Zuiderpark or find out all about the Ooievaarspas.

And of course there is plenty of space to relax: play a game of badminton or table tennis, hang out in a hammock, drink a free cup of coffee or lemonade and enjoy a soup from Praktijkschool de Einder in the sunshine. Everything is free, everyone is welcome and there is always something to do.

MuseumLAB / Museon-Omniversum
MuseumLAB is a creative and educational initiative of Museon-Omniversum in Bouwlust, aimed at children from the neighbourhood. During the Summer Café, they host the popular workshop RePLAY: an educational and playful programme where children learn to repair, dismantle or reuse broken or discarded toys. With the help of experienced makers, they learn about electronics, sustainability and the joy of making. Creativity, technology and recycling come together in an approachable and fun way.

Repair Café The Hague
The Repair Café is the place where repair knowledge comes back to life. In a time when we throw away far too much, the Repair Café shows that many things are still perfectly repairable. During the Summer Café, helpful volunteers help repair, for example, a fan, hoover or other small appliance. It is free, educational and sustainable.
