Royal Theater
Royal one of the top five best cinemas in the Netherlands
The Royal is currently undergoing redevelopment. This means we only have one film auditorium available this year. Base camp has been enlarged this year to include the Bivakzone (or ‘bivouac zone’), a large tent which will be erected on derelict land next to the Royal.
Food and drink
The Bivakzone is the place where will be served on Saturday and Sunday evenings, a wholesome meal for mountaineers served by Esther and her team. BergsteigerEssen can best be reserved via the ticket shop: first come, first served!
Pizza! Should the BergsteigerEssen option be sold out, no worries, because this year Crapoli will be parking their pizza truck right next door to the Bivakzone. The truck will be there throughout Saturday and Sunday.
Refreshments and snacks are also available in the foyer on the first floor of the Royal before and after film showings. Vouchers will be sold for ordering drinks (payment by debit card available).
The Royal Theater is close to the centre of Heerlen, where a large array of cafes and eateries can be found, especially at Pancratiusplein. Heerlen’s highest restaurant, Mijnstreek is just a stone’s throw away from the Royal.
