Christmas Event | Sun 20 Dec.

Come and sample, discover and experience the festive spirit at its warmest, free of charge, during the cosy Christmas event at the MEC Staf Versluys on Sunday 20 December 2026 from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm.

On the day, the event centre will be transformed into a charming winter village full of cosy stalls, warmly hosted by various Breda-based organisations. As you wander past the stalls, live music will create the perfect festive atmosphere, thanks to the traditional sounds of the Christmas Carol Singers, the recognisable melodies of the Bredens Accordion Society and the warm vibe of D’Oriane Music, who will be performing Christmas music with a blues twist.

It promises to be a magical day for the children too. They can have their faces beautifully painted at the children’s face-painting stall and meet their favourite heroes during the enchanting Frozen Christmas show, followed by an exclusive meet-and-greet with Elsa, Anna and Kristoff. Of course, Father Christmas will also be there for an unforgettable photo opportunity, or you can have your photo taken at our photo board dressed as a Christmas elf. You can also take part in a fun word search with great prizes to be won, and there are extra competitions via the UiTPAS and Playmobil. It promises to be a heart-warming day for the whole family.
