New Top Movies this month at Pathé
Masters of the Universe – June 4 In Masters of the Universe, director Travis Knight brings the legendary franchise back to the big screen with a spectacular live-action adventure.

Upon arrival, he discovers that Eternia is oppressed by the cruel regime of Skeletor (Jared Leto).
Scary Movie – June 4 Twenty-six years after they managed to escape a very familiar-looking masked killer (Ghostface), the Core Four are in trouble again, and all horror films are mercilessly dragged into it. Nothing is spared. All rules go out the window. Every boundary is crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel cancel culture.
Toy Story 5 (Original Version) – June 17 Toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, and this time it is: toys versus technology. Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen), Jessie (voiced by Joan Cusack), and the rest of the group see their roles thrown into question when they come face-to-face with Lilypad (voiced by Greta Lee), a brand-new tablet device with its own disruptive ideas about what is best for their child, Bonnie. Will playing ever be the same again?
Disclosure Day – June 11 Universal Pictures is releasing a new feature film conceived and directed by Steven Spielberg. The film is based on a story by Spielberg, and the screenplay is by David Koepp, who previously collaborated with Spielberg on the scripts for Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

From May 22 to June 21, 2026, The Hague city centre will once again transform into a dynamic open-air museum withBlowUp Jubilee, the high-profile anniversary of the art exhibition BlowUp Art Den Haag. This special edition celebrates the fifth anniversary of the iconic inflatable art expo and brings together all the highlights of the past years in one grand visual spectacle.
BlowUp Jubilee is a unique outdoor exhibition where air, color, and design take center stage. Throughout The Hague Museum Quarter — particularly around the Lange Voorhout and the Hofvijver — the playful and monumental artworks demonstrate how art can play with scale, volume, and form. The twenty installations were designed by national and international artists.
Art that embraces the air Curator Mary Hessing: “This anniversary edition marks a milestone: all the iconic BlowUp works from the past five years return, providing an overview of the evolution of this popular art project. Previous editions attracted thousands of visitors and generated significant international media attention. WithBlowUp Jubilee , we are building on that success, and young and old can once again experience free art in public space.”
Artists and works Highlights include the colorful cylinders in a glass container Compressed Cylinders by Raw Color, the enormous yellow ‘donut’ De altijd klopt mooie kalender by John Körmeling, the gigantic purple curl for Pulchri Kijk altijd in de juiste richting by Kiki and Joost, the bright pink pavilion Gazebo by Sigrid Calon, the giant red spiked headdress Crested by Steve Messam, the reflective Eggs by Marcel Wanders, and the floating cooking pot Als een pan in het water by Studio Job.
The artists and designers participating in BlowUp Jubilee are: • Raw Color • Marcel Wanders • Studio Job • Yamuna Forzani • Paul Cournet (Cloud) • Kiki & Joost • Sigrid Calon • Steve Messam • Theo Botschuijver • Studio Mieke Meijer • Adrianus Kundert • Fransje Killaars • Eugenie Boon • John Körmeling • and other surprising contributions that play with air, color, and form
Mary Hessing: “This diversity of artists makes BlowUp Jubilee a captivating mix of visual expression and playful interaction — ideal for art lovers, families, and visitors who want to experience The Hague in a different way.”
BlowUp Art Den Haag is part of the BinnenhofBuiten project, an initiative by The Hague & Partners commissioned by the Municipality of The Hague that makes culture and art accessible during the renovation of the Binnenhof. The free outdoor exhibition has taken place annually in the Museum Quarter of The Hague since 2022.
Why wait for the weekend? PePijns Comedy Club is the ideal spot to grab a beer with friends, have a laugh with colleagues, or impress your date with your excellent taste in comedy. Start with a drink at the bar, enjoy two hours of top-tier stand-up, and stick around for more fun in the foyer.
Every month, we bring you a fresh line-up of up-and-coming comedians, mixed with experienced stand-up pros. This is where you see tomorrow’s big names before they hit the big venues. No flashy sets, no gimmicks – just pure, unfiltered comedy.
What to expect?
A brand-new line-up every month – three comedians and ‘the American Netherlander’ Greg Shapiro as your host
Stand-up at its best – raw, sharp, and unpredictable
A great night out – grab a drink, take it into the theater, and hang out in the bar afterwards
Expect the unexpected! You never know exactly what you’ll get, but one thing’s for sure: you’ll be laughing. Maybe you’ll discover your new favorite comedian, maybe you’ll cry from laughter – but either way, it’s going to be a fantastic night.
Feeling hungry? Before the show, grab a bite at De Pizzabakkers (Dagelijkse Groenmarkt) – show your ticket and get €5 off your pizza. Perfect way to kick off the night!
At Theater PePijn, you can take your drink into the venue.
PePijn’s Comedy Club is programmed and hosted by Greg Shapiro – ‘The American Netherlander’. Sometimes international comedians from Live at the Apollo on the BBC, sometimes award-winners and comedians with their own solo show.
One lineup featured a bisexual Afghan / Dutch comedian (finalist of the Dutch Camaretten Awards), an Egyptian woman who works for the EU, a Ukrainian refugee, and a former dominatrix.
Critics: “One thing that puts some people off in stand-up is the fear they will be picked on, with the comedian insulting or humiliating them. Nothing like that last night; it was a really good atmosphere and everybody had a good night out.” – ArtsTalk Magazine.
How would you like to enjoy a meal created by the world’s smallest chef? At just 6cm tall, according to legend, he was born in April 2015 in Marseille, France.
Le Petit Chef is a fully immersive 3D dining experience where a tiny, animated chef is projected directly onto your table, cooking your meal right in front of your eyes. It’s playful, it’s cinematic, and it’s genuinely unlike anything you’ve experienced at a dinner table before — and he has officially taken up residence in The Hague for the very first time.
The concept was created by Belgian artist collective Skullmapping — Antoon Verbeeck and Filip Sterckx. Previously focused on projections onto house walls and streets, and participants in light festivals worldwide, the duo decided to try it out on tabletops. The premiere took place on Antoon Verbeeck’s terrace, where both artists cooked for their friends. Le Petit Chef himself is a 3D scan of Verbeeck’s son, and the inspiration for the entire show.
Le Petit Chef was previously only available in Amsterdam — however, voco The Hague, the quintessential hotel with Dutch design, wanted to bring this truly one-of-a-kind experience to our beach city. It’s an extraordinary dining concept, one that goes far beyond a traditional dinner, and they felt The Hague deserved its own piece of that magic.
Le Petit Chef offers different show editions globally, and The Hague is currently running Show 1. The menu is a set five-course offering, and what makes this version special is that the hotel has incorporated locally sourced ingredients from regional suppliers, keeping it rooted in local identity. A curated wine pairing option is also available to complement each course.
Each course begins with a show projected directly onto your table, right before your meal is served. From the chef dealing with a mischievous mole in the garden to sailing the sea in search of seafood, it’s charming and sweet — and right up your alley if you’re looking for something genuinely different.
So the show is the highlight, but what about the actual food? I tried both the classic and vegetarian menus, which were freshly made and satisfying. From a caprese salad with gorgeous burrata, beautifully plated, to a vegetarian main of rich and creamy mushroom ravioli and a classic main of beef sirloin paired with broccoli — the menu delivers lovely ingredients and flavours you may not expect.
Le Petit Chef is an evening that will surprise you, and a wonderful way to mark a special occasion. Click here to read about the concept and to make a booking: https://lepetitchef.com/the-hague/
