About us

Let us introduce ourselves

We are the Culturele Raad Wierden: a group of enthusiastic volunteers from all villages in the municipality. Every season we put together a varied programme of music, theatre, lectures and activities for children.

We do not do this alone. We work together with Boekhandel Reterink, the Wierden library and the Municipality of Wierden, so that culture stays close to home.

Since 1988

Our history

The foundation Stichting Culturele Raad Wierden was established on 11 October 1988 on the initiative of a group of committed residents who wanted to give culture a permanent place in the municipality. Since then we have brought special performances and activities to Wierden, Enter, Hoge Hexel and Notter-Zuna every year.

For all residents
