On 7 and 8 November, U? returns to the streets, venues and public spaces of Utrecht. This year’s program explores themes of connection, freedom and identity. From reimagining cultural heritage to exploring new forms of creativity, it provides space for diverse perspectives, communities and new ways of thinking, making and connecting.
We’re happy to welcome you to the city. Below is some important info we'd like to share with you before your visit to the festival.
Freely Accessible
The program of U? is free to attend. You don't need to purchase a ticket.
Timetable & Festival App
For sustainability reasons, we won’t hand out printed time schedules during the festival. You can consult the timetable on our website or in the festival app, which can be downloaded for free.
Social Safety
Our Code of Conduct and House Rules can be found here, and apply for everyone related to the festival: visitors, venues, artists, crew members, volunteers, security, photo/videographers and all other partners.
A Social Safety Team & Hub will be located in the container at the waterside of De Nijverheid (click here for the exact location). They are there to welcome you when you feel unwell or have experienced any form of harassment or discrimination.
Accessibility
U? aims to present a festival that is accessible to everyone, but unfortunately not all festival venues are equally accessible. Do you require more information about the accessibility of the festival and its venues? Please have a look at our venue page.
Apartheid Free Zone
U? has joined Apartheid Free Zones (AFZ), an international campaign initiated by the BDS movement. We're working towards aligning with the BDS boycott guidelines regarding organizations and brands that help maintain systems of apartheid and oppression. While we’re not yet able to meet them across all our venue partners, we’re committed to making progress. If you wish to support this effort, you can consider the BDS boycott list when ordering drinks. Alternative brands and options will be available.
If you have any further questions, we encourage you to read our FAQ page.
See you soon!
