On 15 & 16 April, a new “window’  Route will be organised in St Anna, full of Art & Creativity. More than 60 local residents will showcase their work and hobby and there will be performances at 4 different locations. The starting point of the walk is the Mattheusbos on Capucijnenstraat, where you can get a free map of all participating addresses and artists.
The Mattheusbos is also the starting point of the city walk on both days at 1pm, which you can join for free. A great way to see unknown spots of the beautiful district. You can sign up for it at reijnen@stadsgidserij.nl stating ‘Window’ Route St Anna’. For the little ones (2 to 8 years), there will be a workshop by ‘Vliegop!Atelier’ on Sunday 16 April in Wijkcentrum De Nieuwe Stede from 2pm – participation is free.
The ramen route starts at 11am both days and ends at 5pm. Both days there will be performances in the Mattheusbos, the Nieuwe Stede, The Troubadour and the Capuchin Church. The full programme will be available in due course at https://www.facebook.com/groups/stannatilburg/
