Royal Theater
The Royal is has been voted one of the top five best cinemas in the Netherlands
The theater complex is currently undergoing redevelopment. This means we only have one film auditorium available this year.
Food and drink
The team from Crapoli will be parking their pizza truck outside the Royal for this year’s DMFF. Unless it’s absolutely teeming down with rain, they will be there from 12 to 9.30 pm on Saturday and from 1 to 5.30 pm on the Sunday.
Snacks will be available in the foyer on the first floor of the Royal Theater before and after film showings. Payment will be via a voucher system, these can be purchased on the day (card payment possible).
150 metres from the Royal Theater at Saroleastraat 52 is Grand Café Zwart Goud. During the festival, Bergsteiger fare will be available. Visitors to the DMFF will get a discount!
The Royal Theater is in the centre of Heerlen. Many bars and restaurants can be found at the town’s main square, the Pancratiusplein Heerlen’s highest restaurant Mijnstreek, is likewise a stone’s throw from the Royal.
