The autumn juggling weekend (Herfst Jongleer Weekend, HJW) is a juggling convention that takes place every year in Enschede

About two hundred jugglers from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and beyond come together to have a great weekend full of juggling. The main programme usually consists of workshops, a volleyclub competition, a fight night and a party. And of course lots of free time and space for individual juggling, playing, chilling, unicycling, flowing, wooshing, and whatever else you enjoy. This is organised by CatchUp, the juggling club of Enschede.

Accommodation and dinner

We will sleep in the ‘blokhutten’, nice huts that accomodate 12-15 people each. There will be no camping, if you don’t want to sleep in a hut or if we’re sold out, you can sleep in the UParkhotel or hotel de Broeierd. Please note that any accomodation other than the blokhutten is obviously for paid for by you.

A weekend ticket includes 2x breakfast (Saturday, Sunday) and 1x dinner (Saturday). Vegetarian and vegan options will be available, for other dietary wishes please let us know when signing up.

After renovation, the stall will be available to us again and we can play and hang out and have breakfast there.

Facilities

Toilets and showers are close to the blokhutten and in the sport centre. There is a supermarket (Fri 8-19, Sa 8-18, Su 12-17) and ATM right next to the sport centre. Parking is available around the sport centre and a few spots are at the blokhutten. Between the sports centre and the huts lies a football field, so it’s a very short walk.
Public transport
You can take the train to Enschede Kennispark and walk ~15min or take the bus from Enschede Central or Hengelo Central. Bus is a bit easier/closer by.

Het sportcentrum ligt op een kwartier lopen van station Enschede Kennispark, maar het is vaak makkelijker om een bus te nemen van Enschede Centraal.

What to bring

  • ID card/pasport
  • Juggling/flow stuff, games
  • If you sleep in the huts: sheets (for blanket and pillow) or sleeping bag
  • Layers, it’ll be cold
  • Clothes, tooth brush and other toiletry, towel, phone charger
  • a scary halloween costume, make-up, decorations
  • tricks & treats
