The Vrijthof concerts, set amongst the cultural backdrop of this beautiful town, have become one of the most popular concerts in his yearly schedule. Acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest living musical legends, Dutch-born André Rieu was classically trained, and is now an accomplished violinist, an excellent conductor and a truly great showman. With his orchestra, choir, soloists and special guests he brings a delightful and innovative approach to his concerts, recreating the atmosphere of 19th-century Viennese Dance Halls. Rapt audiences sway with the music, hum along and even dance in the aisles – it all happens! During the concert – the highlight of each break – you will hear music from across André’s repertoire, from his first major hit album, ‘Strauss & Co’ to his latest release, ‘Happy Days’, celebrating his 70th Birthday’. It will be a wonderful not-to-be-missed experience! Air & Eurostar™ Inclusive Breaks available We are delighted to offer four travel package options to see the great man perform in his hometown.

  • 2021 Book News Welcome to Our 2021 Book News
    2021 Book News Welcome to our 2021 Book News. As we come towards the end of a very strange year we hope that you’ve managed to get this far relatively unscathed. It’s been a very challenging time for us all and we’re just relieved that, so far, we’re mostly all in one piece. While we were closed over lockdown, Mark took on the challenge of digitalising some of Venture’s back catalogue producing over 20 downloadable books of some of our most popular titles. Thanks to the kind donations of our customers we managed to raise over £3000 for The Christie which was then matched pound for pound by a very good friend taking the total to almost £7000. There is still time to donate and download these books, just click on the downloads page on our website for the full list. We’re still operating with reduced numbers in the building at any one time. We’ve re-organised our schedules for packers and office staff to enable us to get orders out as fast as we can, but we’re also relying on carriers and suppliers. Many of the publishers whose titles we stock are small societies or one-man operations so please be aware of the longer lead times when placing orders for Christmas presents. The last posting dates for Christmas are listed on page 63 along with all the updates in light of the current Covid situation and also the impending Brexit deadline. In particular, please note the change to our order and payment processing which was introduced on 1st July 2020.
