Winterhaven - Haven

De Winterhaven 2026

After being away for some time, De Winterhaven is back at the harbour! On this lovely waterside terrace in Breda, you can relax in comfort. All kinds of fun events are organised here too. Whether you’re stopping by for a hot chocolate, a sociable drink or an afternoon packed with activities: at De Winterhaven, there’s something for everyone, young and old!

Activities at De Winterhaven
There’s plenty to do for the youngest visitors! During De Winterbende, free children’s activities are organised on various afternoons for children aged 3 to 12. From arts and crafts, face painting and games to a fun children’s disco and winter bingo. Special guests will also drop by, including Sinterklaas, Father Christmas and various fairy-tale characters. There’s something different on the programme every afternoon! While the children enjoy themselves, parents can relax with a snack and a drink on the heated winter terrace.

There’s an extensive programme for adults too! Enjoy live music by the water during Haven Sessions, sing along to the biggest hits during Hits aan de Haven or dance the night away at a silent disco. Prefer a cosy evening with friends? Challenge each other at one of the games nights, play a game of shuffleboard or test your knowledge at one of the quiz nights. There are also various special events, such as the Winter Beer Festival, festive Christmas drinks and lively New Year’s activities.

As well as all the activities, De Winterhaven is naturally the perfect place to get together. Join us for a winter drink, warm up with a delicious mulled wine or enjoy the cosy atmosphere beneath thousands of lights. You’ll also find the Wishing Tree at De Winterhaven. Visitors can hang a wish on it for €1, helping to make children’s wishes come true.

✨ Breda is shining this winter! De Winterhaven is one of the places where you can enjoy the winter atmosphere in Breda. Discover what else there is to do on the Breda Straalt page.
