Sometimes you get the best tips completely by chance. Not through a newsletter or a poster, but simply… at the Christmas market. Among the lights and stalls, we struck up a conversation with a group of fantastically costumed women.

Sometimes the most extraordinary things are found in the simplest of things. Drinking a beer. Listening to a song. Just dropping by De Kroeg for a bit. And, at the same time, working together to ensure that the De Zien swimming pool can continue to exist. This week, Uitgeest will be entirely dedicated to the glasshouse for three days. — a musical and entertaining charity event. And let's be honest: events like these are exactly what our village thrives on. Three days full of

Some evenings exude an atmosphere that instantly transports you back in time – to brown tones, wonderfully impractical hanging planters, and the scent of incense sticks that just didn't quite work. Friday, January 23, 2026, will be such an evening. As part of the National Theatre Weekend, Ernest Beuving presents his show "One of the 70s " at De Zwaan: a humorous journey through time filled with music, parodies, and wonderfully recognizable moments from the 1970s. For someone

Some afternoons feel like a ray of sunshine in January – and Sunday, January 18, 2026, will be just such an afternoon. Because this time, De Zwaan isn't hosting an ordinary theater concert, but SantanAcoustic : an acoustic homage to the music of Santana, full of Latin rock, rhythm, and warm guitar sounds. It may be freezing cold outside, but inside it promises to be incredibly warm . And it's precisely this contrast that makes me so happy in January. Perhaps it's because we

Some mornings feel special from the very beginning – and Sunday, January 11, 2026, is one such morning. Because instead of a typical coffee concert, Casa de Fado Amsterdam is coming to Uitgeest. A group of young musicians who Soul of Portugal The result is a fresh, modern, and unexpectedly intimate Sunday morning experience. And quite honestly? Anyone who grew up with Fado (like me) feels immediately drawn to it. This raw, warm, melancholic sound… it's simply deeply ingrain

Sometimes you don't need a shell, just a coat. And do you know who dares to take off that coat? Luuk Ransijn – on December 19th at De Zwaan. He's the kind of comedian who doesn't just barge in, but sits down next to you and whispers something in your ear that makes you suddenly think: Oh yeah... that's another possibility. Luuk is from Alkmaar, and that's why we immediately felt at home with him. Our daughter Jools was born there – right in the city center, on Lindenlaan, alm
