What we’re about

Welcome to Expats Eindhoven, a vibrant community for English-speaking expats living in or around Eindhoven. Our goal is to help you feel at home, build lasting friendships, expand your social network, and enjoy fun activities together—whether in-person or virtually.

This group is affiliated with Dutch Academy Eindhoven, a local language school that offers Dutch courses. While we may occasionally share information about language learning resources, our primary focus is on fostering genuine connections among expats, not on promoting or selling services.

Membership is open to all English-speaking expats and internationals—everyone is welcome! We simply ask that members participate respectfully and contribute to a positive, inclusive environment. Meetup with other English-speaking expats living in the Eindhoven area. Come along, make new friends and enjoy a few laughs. There is a meet up nearly every night of the week, in Eindhoven, either for a drink, to play board games, to enjoy comedy night, to play some music with music with stranger and learn languages, but always for a laugh. Everyone is welcome. Come along and get involved!

We believe that anyone should be able to feel at home and build a (social) network in the city of Eindhoven. So that’s what we are here for: to make you feel at home, to have fun, to help out and to let you build your social network. In order to do this, we organize many events ranging from Dutch language classes to music- and game nights, to meet up mornings for spouses. Join us - you will be made to feel very welcome!

We're here to create opportunities for members to connect, share experiences, laugh, and support one another. Whether you're new to Eindhoven or a long-time resident, our events are designed to build a sense of community through interactive, group-focused activities. We encourage active involvement to make the most of the group!
If you have ideas for events or want to host one, reach out to the organizers. Let's make Eindhoven feel like home together!

    Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ : "If all my language courses in the past would have this kind of an approach of teaching, I would be fluent in many languages by now! Very intensive course with a lot of additional study materials. Groups are small, both of the teachers are super nice, helpful and they really try to explain to you in that way that you understand. The most important, they encourage you to use the language in everyday situations."

    Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ : "I speak 6 languages and work as an interpreter but would never have believed that it is possible to get to such a level in a new language in just 10 months! The teachers Philippe and Maurice put in a lot of effort and the study materials of Dutch Academy are excellent. I can only recommend signing up for these courses – it will give you a great basic knowledge of Dutch!"

    Headliner bio - Nov 7

    Radu Isac (Romania)
    Radu started comedy in Romania, earning the title of the “comedians’ comedian.” After moving to London, he became a finalist in the English Comedian of the Year competition and has been crafting his darkly funny, sugar-coated cynicism ever since. Think venomous wit with a glittery twist. He’s appeared on BBC, Channel 4, and Comedy Central, and opened for comedy heavyweights like Louie CK and Jim Gaffigan.

    “Intelligently subversive” – The Scotsman
    “Still making me giggle” – Three Weeks
    “The audience loved it, and I think you will too!” – CounterCultureUK
    “Simultaneously sweet and dark” – Chortle
