7 Layers Festival

17 September 2016

This festival found its origin in the singer-songwriter evenings, organised by Dutch singer Dotan. It all revolves around the purity of music: an artist with his or her instrument, own songs and an authentic story. The music hall will be turned into a huge living room, where new music will be explored. No beats, no overproduced music, but just real songs and real stories.

NeighbourFood Market

17 & 18 September 2016

In addition to the PuurFair (and co-organisers) there is NeighbourFood Market at Culture park Westergasfabriek. NeighbourFood Market is a great way of spending a weekend afternoon, wandering around and grazing whatever tickles your fancy. Every third Sunday of the month, Culture Park Westergasfabriek is host to this artisanal food market. The atmosphere is laid back, especially when the sun is out and there are stands outside as well as inside. It is a great way to get to know different types of food.
