Billerbeck open-air stage
The Billerbeck open-air stage is located in the picturesque Billerbeck Weihgarten. The stage is nestled in the gentle hills of the Baumberge and can accommodate 850 visitors. The stage area is located in a former sandstone quarry and is surrounded by a deciduous forest. The rising rows of seats allow a good view of the stage from all seats.
Tradition for more than 70 years
Since 1950, the open-air stage has captivated visitors with lovingly staged plays for children and adults. Every year in summer, one play for children and one for adults are performed on the large natural stage. The actors and actresses usually take the hearts of the audience by storm. Imaginative costumes, wonderful stage sets and the enthusiasm of the actors and act resses make a visit a real experience.
Even in winter you don't have to miss out on the great pleasure. Plays for children and adults are also performed on the studio stage during the cold season. The "Bühnenheim" provides for your physical well-being.
You can find the current programme of the Freilichtbühne Billerbeck on their website.

The open-air stage to listen to
Since January 2021, the Freilichtbühne Billerbeck has been publishing a podcast. Here, the team would like to "give the voluntary work a stage". Guests from all kinds of associations are invited to give you a look behind the scenes. You can listen to the podcast "Die Bühne fragt..." on Spotify, Amazon Music and Deezer.

The 80s. A campsite. Summer! What a marvellous idyll it could be on Günter's campsite! But appearances are deceptive: the holiday resort in the German province is divided. On the one side, the bourgeoisie, who want to have their peace and quiet and watch football in the awning in the evening. On the other side, the bums who want to party all day and have fun. and want to have fun. But then what has to happen, happens: Petra, daughter of the party animals, and Olaf, son of the head bum, fall in love. with each other. Trouble is inevitable. And then there's the unscrupulous Frau von Zitzewitz, who wants to build a huge motorway junction motorway junction - right where Günter's campsite is. But Günter is not only a shrewd campsite tenant and kiosk operator, he also knows his way around the he also knows his way around the universe of the 80s. With the hits of the 80s, Und es hat Zoom gemacht! is great fun - and not just for open-air theatres and summer open-air stages and summer theatre. Experience the romance of two teenagers who dream of world peace and Walkmans. See the battle of two systems that wall themselves in with washing lines and air mattresses.

4 Tips for the Open Air Stage
- How can you recognise Billerbeck from afar? That's right: Billerbeck Cathedral. A visit to the mighty Ludgerus Cathedral is a must.
- For nature fans, the Baumberge are just the thing. Here the "typical Münsterland" park landscape shows itself from its most beautiful side.
- The Kolvenburg in Billerbeck is a listed small moated castle and dates from the 15th and 16th centuries.
- A few kilometres outside the town is the Gerleve Monastery. A building worth seeing!

Together with his son, our colleague Lars Krolik went to see the play "The School of Magical Animals". You can find out what he has to say about the play and the Billlerbeck open-air theatre in general in his article on the MünsterlandBlog. He also has a few ideas for what else you can do in Billerbeck. It's worth reading!
