’s-Hertogenbosch – De Brabantse Winter 2027
What to expect
De Brabantse Winter 2027 is expected to take place from Friday, 17 December 2027, to Sunday, 2 January 2028 at the Brabanthallen in ’s-Hertogenbosch. The date follows the season’s official Friday opening, 2026/27; opening hours, rest days and ticket arrangements are the same as last year, but confirmation for 2027/28 is still pending. The event combines an ice rink, funfair rides and live entertainment.
De Brabantse Winter 2027: expected dates
The organiser has officially announced the dates from 18 December to 3 January for 2026\/27. If the next edition again starts on a Friday before Christmas and ends on the first weekend of January, the planning dates would be 17 December 2027 to 2 January 2028. The new edition has not yet been announced. In addition, there were several closure days during the previous season over Christmas, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. These exceptions have initially been carried over to 2027 using the same model, but may change once the official programme is published.
Brabanthallen: indoor winter village in Den Bosch
De Brabantse Winter transforms the Brabanthallen into an extensive winter experience that is largely unaffected by wind, cold and rain. The venue is on Diezekade in ’s-Hertogenbosch and has space for various themed areas. Visitors can move between stages, food and drink stalls, an ice rink and attractions. This makes it different from a traditional Christmas market in a public square. You need an admission ticket to enter. The map on our website shows the Brabanthallen as the venue.
De Brabantse Winter 2027: funfair and winter attractions
The concept for the 2026\/27 winter season included rides, various winter games and additional activity stations. At the time, the organiser announced new attractions and a larger hall area. The specific showmen’s rides and operators for the following season have not yet been confirmed. We therefore do not list any old rides as the current line-up of rides. For visitors, however, the combination of a winter funfair and group leisure activities remains the event’s defining format. The existing cover image is clearly labelled as a representative image and is not an original photo of the Brabanthallen.
Ice rink, curling and indoor activities
Ice skating was one of the most popular attractions at the previous edition. Guests could also play curling and try additional winter activities. Many attractions were included in the admission price, depending on the ticket type, while special curling reservations, prize games and workshops could incur extra charges. The exact inclusions and individual activities for 2027\/28 are not yet known. You should therefore check carefully which activities are included in your chosen ticket type when buying tickets. This is particularly important for families and larger groups.
Family programme, live music and après-ski
During the day, De Brabantse Winter 2026\/27 was aimed mainly at families, with child-friendly shows and winter games. In the evening, music performances, après-ski and parties were added. The stage offered various programmes for different age groups and times of day. No artists or concert dates have yet been announced for the new season. That is why the 2027 edition does not list names of previous acts as supposedly confirmed performers. If you want to attend a particular evening programme, wait for the organiser’s event calendar and compare the relevant ticket categories.
Admission, tickets and closure days
Admission to the indoor winter event is paid. The previous year, discounted tickets were available for certain arrival times, as well as more expensive day tickets without a narrow time window. The organiser quoted starting prices from 10,50 euros; the actual price depended on the day and ticket type. Under the official rules from the previous year, children up to three years old could enter free of charge. The event was closed on 25 and 31 December and 1 January. This holiday schedule has been provisionally carried over. Final prices and special opening arrangements for 2027\/28 are not yet available.
Getting to the Brabanthallen
The Brabanthallen are about a long walk from ’s-Hertogenbosch station. According to the organiser, it takes about fifteen minutes to walk from the station. You can also travel by taxi or bicycle. If you arrive by car, you can use the car parks at the venue, but you should expect to pay an additional parking fee. The exact parking arrangements for 2027\/28 have not yet been set. It is a good idea to plan your tickets and journey in advance, especially for large evening events.
