The 7th edition of the iAfrica Film Festival, taking place  from 13 – 15 October  at Filmhuis Den Haag, shines a spotlight on West Africa.  They  showcase Africa’s strength and raise awareness of its invaluable contributions to global prosperity, both economically and culturally.

During De Betovering,  artists and performers from the Netherlands and far beyond will be enchanting children from 13 – 23 October with the coolest, most beautiful, exciting and moving performances and
workshops.  The Enchantment is about the power of imagination. Now, more than ever, we need to invite children to use their imaginations to find answers to the limitations and insecurities of our time.

They  have an adventurous and fun programme for children up to 12 years old including some 500 performances and workshops in over 50 locations in The Hague: at the theatres, in museums,
out in the street and more.

The Japanese Garden in Clingendael  Park will be open again this spring from 14 to 29 October from 10:00 to 16:00.

The magnificent Japanese Garden can be visited only during a short period of the year, due to its fragility. It’s the only Japanese garden in the Netherlands and dates  from around 1910 and therefore has a high historical value.
