1. What is the 3rd LANGE NACHT DER BÜHNEN, and how does it differ from a regular theatre visit?
On 19 September 2026, the 3rd LANGE NACHT DER BÜHNEN will take place. 19 Bremen venues will present their programmes from 3:00 to 10:00 pm, followed by a closing party from 9:30 pm at Falstaff. Unlike a regular theatre visit, where you see one play at a single venue, many stages open their doors at the same time during the Long Night. In one evening, audiences can experience theatre, music, dance, magic, guided tours and performances, moving from stage to stage. Instead of a full-length performance, there are many insights into the work of the venues. Visitors can discover new places, meet artists, stroll through the city and find inspiration. One ticket provides access to all events and to a festival atmosphere that Bremen offers only once a year.
2. Which venues are taking part?
AMS! Theater, Blaumeier-Atelier, Boulevardtheater Bremen, Bremer Philharmoniker, bremer shakespeare company, Bürgerhaus Weserterrassen, etage° Bremen, Kulturzentrum Schlachthof, Kunsthalle Bremen, LiteraturKeller, Mensch, Puppe!, Theater im Volkshaus, Schnürschuh Theater, Schwankhalle / steptext dance project, tanzbar_bremen, Theater 11, Theater Bremen, Villa Sponte and Zentrum für Kunst.
3. What can I experience at the 3rd LANGE NACHT DER BÜHNEN?
Every full and half hour, short and engaging programme items take place on the different stages. There are insights into theatre and dance productions, venue tours, open rehearsals and much more. After the programme, performers and audience come together at the closing party at Falstaff of the bremer shakespeare company. The full programme will be published in good time before the event.
4. How much does a ticket cost?
Tickets are offered on a solidarity basis and can be freely chosen from three price categories: 10, 20 or 30 euros. Children aged 3 to 12 pay 5 euros. Children under 3 and companions of people with disabilities do not need a ticket. Advance ticket sales will start before the Bremen summer holidays 2026.
5. What does a ticket cover?
A ticket gives visitors access to all events, as long as places are available. For programme items with limited capacity, we recommend arriving early.
6. How does entry work?
Advance tickets are exchanged for a wristband at the first venue. Alternatively, a wristband can be purchased at the evening box office. After that, a glance at the wristband is enough for free entry to all other stages.
7. How accessible is the 3rd LANGE NACHT DER BÜHNEN?
Many venues have low-barrier access. Information on individual venues is available on the website. The programme flyer includes notes on accessibility. The digital route planner also offers a filter function to show accessible venues specifically.
8. Is there an age restriction for participation?
No. The LANGE NACHT DER BÜHNEN is family-friendly and offers a wide range of programmes for children and young people. Some programme items are marked with age recommendations.
