On Saturday 27 September, dozens of creatives from The Hague will gather in Prins27 (location Koorenhuis). During the Haagse Makersbeurs they show each other and the public what is being produced in The Hague. The Hague Maker Fair is a platform for creatives, artisans and technicians who are active in The Hague and want to show others what they make in their workshops, studios and attics. During the fair, the Makers will give demonstrations of their own creations, crafts and baking, and there will be plenty of opportunity to network with each other and the public.
Fashion artist Sara Vrugt, beer brewery Bogt, Repair Kid and HockeyTracker are among others present at the fair. HockeyTracker demonstrates the technology that made its global debut during the last Hockey World Cup in The Hague. This makes it possible to visualize ball speed and strength during hockey matches, among other things. In addition to product demonstrations and tastings, the Haagse Makersbeurs also offers a stage to musicians, VJs and DJs who give shows with self-built equipment and instruments in the main hall of the Koorenhuis.
