Lunch bags
New at IFFR: IFFR gives the opportunity to Volkskrantdag visitors to pre-order a lunch bag prepared by our caterer, to be picked up on Sunday 9 February 2025 at de Doelen – Willem Burger Hall between 9.00 and 13.00.
Lunch bags can be only pre-ordered through our website and cost €15. They can only be picked up at de Doelen – Willem Burger Hall and include two vegetarian sandwiches, a piece of fruit and a drink. Pre-orders for a Volkskrantdag lunch bag end on February 3, 2025, 10.00.
Due to the distance between Nieuwe Luxor and Lantarenvenster to de Doelen, we recommend visitors who bought tickets for Nieuwe Luxor and LantarenVenster to pick up their lunch bag before their first screening or not use the lunch bag option but instead arrange their own lunch or make use of the restaurants on-site.
A lunch bag includes one sandwich with old cheese, muhammara, cucumber and rucola. One sandwich with hummus, grilled almonds and rucola. One piece of fruit and one drink. The lunch bags will be served in environmentally friendly disposables.
Visitors who purchase a lunch bag will receive detailed instructions regarding the pickup location, time, and process as the date approaches.
