#heremustbeinbrabant

1. The Plukkerij | For a summer forest

Bosschenhoofd

Who doesn't get happy: a fresh bunch of flowers in the house, or in the camper or caravan of course! In Margrietstraat (how coincidental!) in Bosschenhoofd, you pick them yourself. The nice thing is that sisters Anja and Ilse sow flowers you don't often come across at the florist's. A bucket and scissors will be waiting for you from 4 July to 10 October on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 to 16:00. Read more about their offerings. 

2. Canal tour Oudenbosch | sailing enjoyment

Oudenbosch

The long-awaited canal cruise from Oudenbosch has started. From now on, reservations can be made via Waterpoort rondvaarten. Tour boat Merijntje Gijzen is sailing a new route from Oudenbosch to the open water of the Volkerak. The Volkerak is a three province point (Brabant, South Holland and Zeeland). The trip takes about 3.5 hours, during which you sail on the Mark and Dintel rivers all the way to the Manders'sluice at Dinteloord. Along the way, you'll enjoy tasty drinks and snacks from the cosy bar. For now, the next date is 22 August. Further dates will follow soon. Want a special location for a party? The boat can also be hired for a private party. Make reservations here. 

3. Cycling round the farmer | Agricultural cycle route

Halderberge

You really discover the neighbourhood when you go off-road and brave the country roads. And believe us, there are plenty of those in Halderberge. As well as hospitable and proud farmers and agriculturists. Cycle this route and discover the story behind the farm at all 14 locations. With a bit of luck, one of the farm shops will be open and you will score something nice for home. To the route. 

4. Venturing out on the chopper

Oud Gastel

When the temperatures rise, it is nice to cool down once in a while. On the chopper you tour through the Brabant countryside and get a nice breeze in your face. Also fun to do with a group and visit different locations in Halderberge. You rent them for two hours or a whole day At the Veerhuis in Oud Gastel. 

5. Beer festival & beer brewing

Oudenbosch & Hoeven

On 25 September, the 4th edition of the Beer Festival in Oudenbosch will take place on the Jezuietenplein. From 14:00 - 20:00, taste the tastiest beers from various breweries. For more information and updates keep their Facebook page watch. Would you rather brew your own beer? During the beer brewing workshop at Brouwerij 't Meuleneind in Hoeven, you will learn how to make beer. You will follow the entire process closely and help the brewer brew the beer. The workshop starts at 9.00 am and lasts until around 5.00 pm. The package costs €59.50 per person, including coffee and sweets in the morning, lunch at noon and a tasting. Next date: 11 September next. Prefer a tasting with your own club of friends? From 15 people, you can have a tailor-made tasting. Book for the workshop or contact us for your own tasting session here.

6. Summer of love: art and studio route

Halderberge 11 & 12 September

A perfect weekend to be in Halderberge: during the 3rd edition of the art and studio route. With this year's theme 'love & lust', it promises to be a sultry (after)summer. During this weekend, you will have the opportunity to meet several local and regional artists in their studio or exhibition space. You do the route by bike, on foot or by car. The venues are open both Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 - 17:00.

7. The Milk Mystery

Hooves

An activity for the whole family or with the group of friends? In Halderberge you have several escaperooms, for both indoor and outdoor use. Recently opened: The Milk Mystery on the farm at Rommens Cows. Here you are not locked in a small room... No, you get the entire farm as your playing field. Within 60 minutes, you and your teammates must solve the mystery. The adventure starts with a friendly welcome at the farm. For each participant, there is a nice cup of coffee or tea and a delicious piece of real farmhouse cake. Prefer a escaperoom in the forest, based on The true-life Safe deposit box robbery in Oudenbosch, or escape from the neighbourhood cellar?
