Copenhagen has implemented initiatives to provide free cultural access to children and the public. The municipality re-introduced the ‘En Til Alle’ (One for All) programme, which allocates DKK 1.4 million for 2026 to allow approximately 30,000 children from schools and day-care centres to attend professional theatre performances at no cost. Mayor Christopher Røhl noted the scheme serves as an alternative to screen time, describing theatre as “wilder and more fun”.

Complementing these municipal efforts, various local cultural events and tours are being held. These include puppet shows such as ‘Arnarulunnguaq – den store lille kvinde’ at the Tingbjerg Library and Culture House, as well as the Valby Days festival, which features free performing arts, interactive street theatre, and circus performances.
