VDL Party

On Saturday, November 1st, 2025, we will transform N.H. Koningshof into a vibrant party paradise, with something for everyone. On the main stage this evening are Mart Hoogkamer and our house band This is Beethoven! Mart Hoogkamer, known for his mega-hit “Ik ga zwemmen” and his golden voice, delivers a show full of energy, sing-alongs, and Dutch conviviality. Whether you’re a fan of his emotional ballads or his party anthems, Mart knows how to move both young and old.

Our house band, This is Beethoven, delivers a spectacular show that brings the world's greatest artists to life. The singers not only sing fantastically but also dance like a pro, giving you the feeling of being at a concert, combined with the custom-made video. The roof will certainly come off with their extensive repertoire of the biggest Pop, Dance, R&B, and Rock hits from the ‘90s.

At the Club, Smèrrig DJs will be spinning tracks that would make your cousin or sister blush. Johnny Fernando and Sharona will get ready in the smartlappencafé for a very special evening, searching for hidden talents during the “Nacht van de Natte Zakdoek.” Dutch sing-along classics by Frans Bauer, Corry Konings, and Zangeres Zonder Naam will be featured, as well as international hits. You’re guaranteed a hilarious night out. Or step into the glitter time machine with Disco Snolly, who effortlessly mixes funky disco, retro classics, and modern house—a party for every generation.

All in all, an evening you won’t soon forget. Of course, we’ll make sure there’s plenty of food and drinks available throughout the night.

The minimum age for the VDL Party is 16 years. Alcoholic drinks (beer & wine) will only be served from the age of 18. At the entrance, everyone—including your guest—will be asked for an ID card.

If you’d like to make use of bus transportation, you can indicate this when registering. To organize the transport as efficiently as possible, we provide pick-up points in various regions.

Important: each pick-up point requires a minimum of 6 people for a bus to run. Want to be sure of transportation from your location? Then sign up quickly and invite colleagues to join you.

The VDL Party starts at 8:00 PM and ends at 1:00 AM.

Winter Efteling

Winter Efteling on Sunday, November 16th, 2025
Do you love fairytales, wintry romance, and a unique atmosphere? Then come to the enchanting winter wonderland: the Winter Efteling. The entire park is bathed in the warm glow of thousands of lights. Snowmen, pine trees, and decorations create a cozy ambiance. Beloved fairytale characters are dressed in winter outfits, and even the Fairytale Forest feels extra mysterious in the cold.

You can enjoy yourself at the Winter Meadow, where you can skate on a real ice rink, warm up by the campfire with a cup of mulled wine or hot chocolate, and enjoy live music and winter treats.

Your entrance ticket also serves as your parking ticket, so you don’t need to purchase one separately. In addition, each ticket includes a credit of €40.00. This amount can be spent that day on food, drinks, or a fun souvenir. If there is any amount left over, it will be fairly divided between two charities: Villa Pardoes and the VDL Foundation.

VDL has a limited number of tickets available for the Winter Efteling. Want to join? Order your tickets on time to avoid disappointment. Need extra tickets? That’s possible through Efteling directly, but keep in mind: when they’re gone, they’re gone!

The park will be open on Sunday, November 16th, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The main entrance opens at 9:00 AM and the gates to the themed realms open at 10:00 AM.
