DOK 5
Did you know that Harlingen has a new cultural hotspot? Besides the Entrepot building and Milûk theatre there is now Culture Hub DOK 5! This indoor venue at the vibrant Nieuwe Willemshaven brings even more art, culture, and education to Harlingen. Here, you will find everything under one roof—from inspiration and events to a variety of activities.
From Timber Warehouse to Creative Hub
Creativity and repurposing have breathed new life into Harlingen’s former timber warehouse. Multiple parties joined forces to create a platform that fosters diverse artistic endeavours and initiatives. It serves as a meeting place for artists, local community organisations and anyone seeking inspiration from the maritime world. You can find the Culture Hub at Nieuwe Willemshaven 5, 8862 RZ Harlingen.
