About this audio guide
This audio guide to Park Lepelenburg in Utrecht follows the timber concert hall that went up on this lawn in nineteen fifty-five, when the city lost its old Tivoli on the Kruisstraat and needed a stopgap. You'll hear what the builders refused to cut down, and about the cloakroom local historians still talk about. Later, a committee of squatters and the city's punk scene enter the story. Best heard standing on the open grass among the older trees.
