About the puzzle tour:

Martine Veldhuizen does research on freedom of speech. Together with students from the Research Master Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Studies and Het Utrechts Archief, she has developed a puzzle tour. In this tour of about 30 minutes we challenge you to think about whether there are limits to freedom of speech. Because the tension between freedom of speech on the one hand and libel on the other is as relevant today as it was 250 years ago.

Will you participate too? The puzzle tour can be done with a maximum of six people at a time. Therefore, we kindly ask you to sign up for a time of your preference.

During the Happy Hour you can catch up while enjoying a drink (half price) and appetizers from the club. Drinks can be paid at the bar. The cost for the dish of the day will be €15.00 per person. Feel free to take a seat at one of our tables and enjoy a historical Utrecht stew with other alumni and members of our staff.
