Under the theme "Gold Worth," De Stadskerk organizes six identical Christmas Eve services on December 23 and 24.
These services will feature a contemporary musical performance blending modern Dutch-language music with familiar Christmas songs, connecting contemporary themes to the Christmas message. It promises to be an impressive evening that will resonate deeply.
The admission is FREE - it is advised to reserve a spot quickly, as there is a limited number of seats available per service to ensure an optimal experience and safety for all guests.
On December 23 and 24, there will be three services at 5:00 PM, 7:30 PM, and 10:00 PM.
Below, you can watch the Aftermovie of Christmas in Stad 2023 for a glimpse of the atmosphere, and know that you are welcome to celebrate Christmas with us.
Parking is available at P2 or P3 and at the JUMBO near Reitdiephaven. Please follow the instructions of the traffic attendants. Accessible parking is available for individuals with disabilities at the church’s parking lot (P1) upon showing a disability card.
Seating will not be assigned; staff will guide guests to available seats. Printed tickets are optional; digital versions on phones are also acceptable. Tickets are transferable but only grant access to the specified service time. It is fine if the name on the ticket doesn’t match the visitor, as verification is not based on names but on date and time.
Translation services are available during the Christmas Eve Services on December 23 and 24 at 10:00 PM (Dutch to English) and on December 24 at 5:00 PM (Dutch to Arabic).
Wheelchair users are warmly welcome. Please email tickets@destadskerk.nl in advance of your visit to ensure accommodations for you and a possible companion.
There is no age recommendation, as everyone is welcome to celebrate Christmas! However, families with very small children are encouraged to attend the Christmas family service.
A cloakroom service is available for free. For safety reasons, the right to deny access is reserved for guests arriving with large bags or backpacks.
