Glas leeft
Discover the world of glassblowing during the Glass event “Glas leeft!” in Leerdam.
From 13 to 15 September from 10.00-17.00 you are invited to come to see the glassblowers at work in various places with special exhibitions in the Glasfabriek, the Grote Kerk and exclusive tours at the factory and glass tastings.
