Concerts in the main hall and Podiumcafé

The CreativeColors Hall is the main room, with a capacity of up to 750 people. It hosts touring artists across progressive and classic rock, metal, blues, jazz, soul and funk. The Podiumcafé is a smaller stage for performances of up to 100 people and a place to have a drink before or after a show.

The main concert room is standing. When a show is suitable, it is also streamed on screens in the seated Podiumcafé, offering a way to watch from a chair. Check the individual listing for its room, door time and ticket status.

Getting to Boerderij and parking

RandstadRail stop Voorweg is about a one-minute walk from the venue. From The Hague Central, take RandstadRail 3 or 4 and get off at Voorweg laag. From Utrecht or Gouda, transfer from the train at Driemanspolder to RandstadRail 3 towards The Hague and get off at Voorweg hoog.

Free parking is available along Amerikaweg, though a busy concert can leave you with a few minutes’ walk. If those spaces are full, the venue lists parking Ingenieur Veltplein and Bakkerhove 3 behind Voorweg station; reach them via Meerzichtlaan and Voorweg.

Wheelchair tickets, seats and access

A wheelchair or rollator user needs the designated wheelchair ticket, which secures access to a marked space. A companion needs a separate regular ticket; there is no free companion ticket. Mobility scooters are not allowed inside.

The concert hall has no regular seating. Up to six seats for visitors who have difficulty walking can be reserved in advance. The public lift is not freely accessible: crew members help with access to the café, the concert hall when a wheelchair mat is available, or the balcony platform when it is open. Contact the venue before buying if you need a step-by-step access plan.

Age rules, cashless payment and doors

Concerts have no minimum age unless the event page says otherwise. Visitors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The venue is cashless throughout; the box office opens on concert nights from 19:30 for tickets to upcoming shows.

Doors and performance start vary by event. Use the time on the official event page and ticket, and allow time for security and cloakroom on busy nights.
