GREAT THINGS TO DO IN OUR AREA

The tower of the Oude Jeroenskerk is also open to visitors this year - in its 14th season - every Saturday until 21 September. It's quite a climb, as the tower has 110 steps, is 40 metres high and the walls are 2 metres thick. Once at the top, you have a great view of Noordwijk, the surrounding area and the North Sea. During the climb, a guide will tell you all sorts of interesting facts about the history of the church, the clockwork and the bells. 

Every first Saturday of the month there is a walk-in morning at the Jan Verwey Nature Centre.  

For information about excursions and nature in and around Noordwijk, a cosy cup of coffee or tea, or to exchange observations, this is the place to be. Expert members are always present and current nature photos are usually shown on a large screen.

There is also plenty for children to experience here. They can have fun with the beautiful showcases and the large nature electric game. Parents can find more information at: www.strandloper.nl

Feel free to drop by.

Visit the beautiful Bollenstreek dahlia mosaic exhibition on the first weekend in September. During the Dahlia Mosaic Days, hundreds of dahlia mosaics are exhibited in the bulb region. On 6 and 7 September, the participants will take part in the staking. All the dahlia mosaics will be exhibited on 8 and 9 September.

Don't miss out on this unique experience and drop by. 

The entire second weekend in September is dedicated to the Warmond Skippers' Days. The municipal harbour in Warmond is once again transformed into a large nautical domain.

Tugs, back deckers, push boats, steamers and many other traditional vessels fill the harbour. The harbour area includes a marquee with terrace, 30 nautical market stalls, the ‘classic ship engines’ section and various old vehicles. Several sailor and shanty choirs can also be heard on this day.

Would you like to sail along yourself? You can! Then go on board the steam tugboat ‘Eagle.’

Every year on the second weekend in September, many of the beautiful monuments in the Netherlands are open to everyone free of charge. This year's theme is ‘Routes, networks and connections.’

Open Monumentendag 2024 will take place on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 Septemb
