A new weekend also means new tips. DUIC has once again listed seven fun events to attend this weekend and the following days. There is plenty to do!
Patrick and the Whale
Where: Hoogt in Bieb Neude
When: May 7 to May 12, times vary
Price: 9 to 11 euros
Patrick Dykstra has dedicated his life to the study of whales. In the documentary Patrick and the Whale we follow his journey. Patrick meets the female sperm whale Dolores. She is very social and curious. Even so much that she copies Patrick’s movements. A documentary full of stunning underwater images and insights into our planet’s largest ocean inhabitants.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Where: TivoliVredenburg
When: Saturday May 11, 8:15 PM
Price: 31.75 euros
The South African choir Ladysmith Black Mambazo is coming to TivoliVredenburg! She achieved great success in her own country in the 1970s. So big that they were no longer allowed to participate in talent shows, because they always won. That only promises something good! They tour the world with their message, peace, love and harmony!
25 years of Molen de Ster: Hout & de Molen
Where: De Ster sawmill
When: Saturday, May 11, 10 a.m
Price: free
During National Mill Day, the Cozy Wood Market takes place at Molenpark 3. There are stalls in the yard that sell wooden products. There are also various children’s activities to do. Due to the 25th anniversary, a demonstration of a historic sawhorse will also be given; the predecessor of the sawmill. You can also take a tour of the mill, or have a nice lunch or drink in the Molencafé.
Long Distance Calling
Where: The hill
When: Saturday May 11, 7:30 PM
Price: 24.50 euros
Storytelling in combination with heavy metal? The German band Long Distance Calling can do that like no other. Scenarios about the future, death, technology and the environment are presented. No happy themes. But their band motto is: ‘Nothing can stop the inexorable progress of time, but music makes the journey more enjoyable.’ Eight albums, sold-out venues and world-class festivals are to their name. The band is known as one of the best live acts in their genre, and wants to show that on May 11 in De Helling.

What is the refuge when the end is in sight?
