Cinema Zevenskoop is een gezellig filmhuis met een intieme sfeer. We vertonen elke week een film die op een of meer manieren extra mooi is. Vaak zijn het prijswinnende films met prachtige beelden, geweldige acteurs en/of een belangrijk verhaal. Wij ontvangen veel Helders publiek, maar ook mensen van buiten de stad weten ons te vinden. En mensen die alleen komen, vinden gemakkelijk aanspraak, over de film of iets anders. Kom gewoon eens naar Zevenskoop voor een leuk avondje uit! De entreeprijs is € 9,00

Scheepsfolk is a Dutch maritime folk band with its own unique sound. The band regularly performs in many countries during festivals and nautical events and in folk clubs. The enthusiastic crew accompanies themselves with accordion, guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, draw bag, washboard, candrum, kazoo, cajon and double bass. The musical influences come from all over Europe, so Scheepsfolk has developed its own unique style.

When the spring sun shows itself, the ice fun starts. People of all ages eagerly gather round the display of ice-cream parlour Kaap Hoorn at Willemsoord. It is often a difficult choice between all the wonderful, artisan ice-cream flavours. But it is not just the ice-cream, also our special, rich-flavoured coffees are made with love and passion. Why not have some ice-cream to go with your coffee, instead of a cookie?

Fairtransport is the name of the on Willemsoord established alternative shipping company as a quality indicator for clean transport.

A second ship, the Nordlys IV will operate from March 2015 the European coast.

Hiking around Den Helder is beautiful. Everyone who travel North to the top of North Holland will be rewarded with a suprisingly versatile route. Hike on winding paths through dunes and on top of the dyke past the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage. You will see forts, musea, a big red lighthouse and end up in a city centre with any places to rest and have a bite to eat.

At the end of 2005, the nature in Den Helder was expanded with more than 50 hectares of natural bush land. Flower bulb fields were converted into low dunes, dune grasslands and water features. Come and visit and be amazed by the wealth of flowers, butterflies and birds. Don’t forget your boots!

The Nieuwedieper fishmonger sells fish from raw to fully prepared. Thus, you can come to us for seafood that you prepare at home, but you can also have a delicious meal or just a traditional fish snack at our place.

The largest fort in the Netherlands, only accessible by guided tour

Our Dutch culture seems to be fading, but not in Den Helder. Since 1975, the Helderse Draaiorgelvrienden have been active to maintain a tradition. The 90-key street organ 'de Harmonica' is managed and operated by the volunteers of 'Stichting Helderse Draaiorgelvrienden'. Almost every Saturday they are with the organ in the city center of Den Helder. On an original wooden, three-wheeled push cart and always turned by hand, as happened a century ago.
