Holland House 2012 - Come party with the Dutch!

Trafalgar Square, London
on Saturday 14 April 2012 
from Midday (12pm)– 8pm

Holland House brings a taste of Holland to the UK and invites you to join the celebrations of our national day. This free festival will turn London's most famous square into a vibrant orange sea and is not to be missed…  This is what Holland House will have on offer!

Taste and experience the Dutch lifestyle at the festival market 

At Holland House you will be able to experience all things Dutch! Stroll around the Dutch market where there’ll be plenty of Dutch cheese and sweet and savoury snacks to choose from. For lunch why not try fresh herring or Dutch fries the traditional way... with mayonnaise? And if you fancy bringing a little bit of Holland back home with you, pick a bunch of fresh Dutch flowers! 

Who let the Dutch out?

This year we have a great merchandise offering to make sure you can wear some fantastic orange gear at Holland House and throughout the summer supporting the Dutch. Our team will be showing off the hats and special edition T-shirts and offer you great deals.
