On Sunday 23 August, the first Sunday of Pluk 2026 in Amsterdam, children of all ages are invited to Pluk de Nacht. Bring your friends, neighbours, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and classmates for our annual afternoon packed with films, games and all kinds of fun.
This year’s edition promises to be one for the history books, because Pluk MINI is not so mini anymore. We’re turning ten! Hooray! Are you coming to celebrate with us? Shaun the Sheep certainly is!
Shaun the Sheep: Every Day’s a Party
Ten brand-new episodes of Shaun the Sheep will be shown during our anniversary edition. Get ready for plenty of laughs as baking a birthday cake goes horribly wrong, a fashion show descends into chaos and Bitzer tries to spot a shooting star while mayhem unfolds all around him. The episodes will be shown in the Pluk Tent from 14:00.
More than just films
As always, there is plenty to do besides watching films. Our mini Plukkers can let their imaginations run wild all afternoon.
During an animation workshop by Het Onderwater Theater, children aged six and over can dream up and create their own imaginary friend. There will also be bowling, giant pick-up sticks, Twister and table tennis. We’ll make wonderfully woolly sheep and build a birthday cake together. We are celebrating, after all!
The children’s beauty salon will open its doors again too. There will be popcorn, drinks and tasty snacks for all ages. We’ll round off the afternoon with the one and only Pluk MINI disco, complete with a smoke machine!
About Pluk MINI
Like Pluk de Nacht, Pluk MINI is run entirely by volunteers. Some of the children who visited Pluk MINI in its early years now return to help our youngest guests enjoy all the activities.
Pluk MINI has been free to attend since its very first edition. You can support the festival by buying a juice or a cup of coffee at the bar.
The programme is created especially for children aged one to ten, but everyone is welcome. We’d love to celebrate with you!
Sunday 23 August
14:00 to 17:00
Stenen Hoofd, Westerdoksdijk, Amsterdam
Too old for Pluk MINI, but not quite ready for the main films?
Then join us on a Friday or Saturday evening at Pluk in Amsterdam. Before the main film begins, we screen a modern classic in the Pluk Tent at 19:30, with headphones provided. Young film fans can enjoy a film in the tent while their parents have a drink by the IJ.
One last note for everyone accompanying young children: the Stenen Hoofd is surrounded by water, so please keep a close eye on your little ones!
