The Stadsschouwburg: perfect setting for your event

For more than 130 years, Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam has been a place where people come together. Alongside more than 500 cultural activities in the monumental theatre on Leidseplein, the Stadsschouwburg is also the venue of choice for conferences, dinners, presentations, galas and other business and private gatherings.

From the iconic Boekenbal to the Buma Awards ceremony. From a private dinner on the set of an ITA Production to a private event on the Ajaxterras. The rich history of the building, combined with state-of-the-art technical facilities, makes Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam a perfect venue for your event.

Venue for every type of event

Every event calls for a different setting. Sometimes that is a large conference, a seminar or a gala. Sometimes an intimate dinner, a presentation, a workshop or a reception. At Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam, all of this is possible. With more than ten auditoriums, foyers and special spaces, you will always find a setting that suits your event.
