Step into the imaginative world of Francis Sling as we celebrate the launch of his new book, For Example.

At Landhuis Rondeklip, beside his For the Love of God mural, Strange Bird brings creativity, expression and connection together.

More than a book launch, Strange Bird is an invitation to experience art beyond the pages.

Choose your night. Be part of it.

Friday 27 NovemberDress-up Evening

An evening in the world of Francis Sling — with art, a five-course dinner, all-inclusive drinks and a live show.

On Friday 27 November, Landhuis Rondeklip comes alive with Strange Bird: Dress-up Evening. Enjoy a champagne welcome and small bites before stepping into Francis Sling's imagination on a theatrical journey across the estate. Art, music and theatre lead you to a five-course dinner and a live show beside his For the Love of God mural.

Take a special piece of this world home. During the evening, you will have the chance to buy one of the very first copies of For Example from the exclusive numbered edition, signed by Francis Sling. A personal collector's piece from the artist. The book is sold separately and is not included in your ticket.

Dress code: free as a bird. Come as your most expressive self: elegant, eccentric, bold or in your own creation. Give your imagination room to fly.

Saturday 28 NovemberArt, Music & Discovery

Wander the grounds of Landhuis Rondeklip for an evening of art, music, performance and discovery. Come across unexpected creative moments and catch a live show beside Francis Sling's For the Love of God mural.

Two one-hour sessions are available: at 6 PM (Family Show) and 7:30 PM. You choose your session when you book; your ticket admits you to that session, together with access to the grounds. Come curious. Leave inspired.

Children aged 12 and under go free, but need their own (free) ticket and must be with an adult. They're welcome at the 6 PM Family Show only. From age 13 you need a ticket and can attend any session. The show is recommended for ages 10 and up; younger children are welcome at the Family Show.

Thursday 26 November is a private, invitation-only evening.
