We are established in the oldest city of Holland. A city with a rich history, but unfortunately much is destroyed during World War 2.
In and around Nijmegen is a lot to see and do for tourists. Grote Markt, de Waalkade, Koningsplein en de Molenstraat  are well known for it's beauty, shops, pubs and restaurants.
As a tourist  you have to visit: Valkhof Park, Grote Markt, Kronenburger Park and of course the City Hall.

     

Nijmegen is surrounded by very different landscapes;
Municipal: The city itself and living areas.
Rustic: The Betuwe with Medieval castle Doornenburg, where the movie Floris was filmed.
Polder land: de Ooij, North-East close to Nijmegen.
Hills: Beek - Ubbergen - Berg en Dal. It’s a little bit like England or the Eifel in Germany.
Woods: East- and South-East Nijmegen, kilometers of woods, all the way to for instance. Groesbeek, to Berg en Dal - Beek and to Ubbergen.
Nijmegen and surroundings, an area to take walks and to be proud of.

We are enthusiastic concerning the historical fantasy world and we hope the inhabitants of the Eastern part of our country will share our enthusiasm also.  

We started Pirates Cave with an online shop in December 2005. Since 1^st of May 2007 we have a real shop of 80 m2.  With this shop we have the opportunity to grow. The shop is extremely full with goods momentarily, but we have an option to use the basement and the small patio behind the shop to enlarge our shop. This is our dream.

Because of interest in history, fantasy and reenactment the idea was born to start something for ourselves. Since the day we started (mid 2005), we daily work late hours.

Even now we invest as much time as possible in our shop. We want to grow and on the other hand we love what we do. We are searching for new ideas constantly, particularly for clothing and accessories. We adjust standard clothing, but we also started with creating leather articles.

f.e. baldrics (hard to get). Since a short time we also have these in our shop. We are expanding in some ways.

 

Our goal: When it’s up to us, we want to expand in the most possible ways, concerning clothing and accessories. Even in Dark Wear clothing. We can’t do this all by ourselves, of course. We need you, the customer. We would appreciate if customers would share their ideas and wishes with us. In this way we could try to be of service in the future.

 If you give us the chance, then we do everything that’s in our power to provide an excellent service.

You might be interested in our products. Possible buyers are: entertainers, entertainment companies, actors, reenactors, LARP, swordfighters, knights, music bands, presents and/or collectors of certain articles, adults and children, etc.

Maybe we could be of service. You can purchase articles. We aim to deliver the highest quality we can find. Are you looking for costumes to dress up as a pirate, you can choose in exclusive designs in wool, velvet, cotton and rayon.

 

If it has to be simple, we do have an economy range also. This costume can only be rented.

Discount in large quantity can be discussed. Best is to contact us as soon as possible, to give us the time we need.
