Planning a Group Visit to Stephen & Penelope

Here's what you need to know (and more importantly, what WE need to know!).

Please reach out to events@stephenandpenelope.com to let us know you're coming to see us!

More than 15 in your group? Let us Know in advance!

Our new store can accommodate more people than ever. But to have the best experience with a bigger group, we suggest letting us know in advance!

Are you Hoping to meet Stephen on Your Visit?

As much as he would like to be, Stephen can't always be in the store! But if we can manage it, and you're bringing a group with you, be sure to ask if he has time to come and meet you there! We'll try our best to make it happen

Recommendations

Especially if you have a larger group, it can be hard to get a table in some of the smaller extablishments in Amsterdam. We can help with a short list of some of the larger establishments that can accommodate your group.

Add-ons and Goodie Bags

Do you want a nice gift arranged ahead of time for your group? We can put together goodie bags customised to your attendees, big or small!
