Located on the beautiful Keizersgracht canal in the heart of Amsterdam, De Rode Hoed is a unique cultural house focusing on social debates, art and culture. The iconic building combines historical charm with a modern stage where important local, national and international issues are discussed. With its rich history and varied programming, Rode Hoed is a place where culture, knowledge and dialogue come together.
Rode Hoed is housed in a monumental building that originally served as an air-raid shelter. This historical building exudes a special atmosphere and provides an inspiring environment for debate, theatre, music and art. The name ‘Rode Hoed’ is derived from a hat shop that was located here in the 17th century. Over the centuries, the building has maintained its status as a place of meeting and free exchange of ideas.
Red Hat is known for its in-depth social and cultural debates. Its agenda is filled with high-profile events. These focus on topical issues such as sustainability, equality, technology, politics and art. This makes the culture house a place where people come together to discover new perspectives and engage in constructive dialogues. Besides debates, Rode Hoed also organizes lectures, concerts, theatre performances and literary evenings.
The beautiful halls with high ceilings, historical elements and an intimate atmosphere ensure that every event in Rode Hoed is a special experience. The Great Hall, for instance, with its impressive acoustics and architecture, is an ideal place for concerts and large gatherings.
One of Red Hat's core values is to create an inclusive and accessible space. The culture house caters to a wide audience, regardless of background or area of interest, and it invites visitors to join the conversation.
A visit to Rode Hoed not only offers a chance to attend interesting debates and inspiring events, but also to enjoy a historic building steeped in history and culture.
