Laid-out before the historic De Bijloke, these gardens are often used as a venue for open-air concerts and music festivals. The gardens, or tuinen, are the perfect complement to the historic music center, and are a pleasure to explore when the weather is pleasant. Set beneath the open sky and warmed by the rays of the sun, the gardens of De Bijloke are the perfect setting for more relaxed and informal performances, yet can be easily transformed into a formal setting for classical concerts beneath the stars at night.
