Travel & Parking

Travelling to Meppel by train is both the greenest and easiest option: from Meppel railway station, it is less than a 10-minute walk to the central festival venues.

Coming by car? Please keep in mind that many venues are located in a pedestrianised zone; we therefore recommend parking your car in one of the larger car parks surrounding the town centre.

• P1 Stadhuis/Centrum
• P2 Parkeergarage Keyserstroom
• P3 Kromme Elleboog
• P4 Schouwburg Ogterop (±10 mins buiten het centrum) 
• P Vledderstraat 
• P Blankenstein (±15 mins outside the town centre) 

Heading to Garage TDI at the Gesamenluk venue (the former Diaconessen hospital)? Please park your car at Hoogeveenseweg 38. Bicycle parking is also available at this location.

Running late for a performance?

Please ensure you arrive at the venue at least 10 minutes before the start time. Once the performance has begun, we are unfortunately unable to open the doors.
