Abstract
In this master thesis, I explore the development of the night-time entertainment economy
in Tilburg, the Netherlands. What makes this subject particularly interesting to research
in Tilburg is the city’s transition from a strong manufacture economy to a post-industrial,
services oriented urban centre. The main research question that guided my inquiry is:
What makes the night-time economy possible in Tilburg? To answer this question, I
engaged in three months of ethnographic fieldwork. The account that follows in this
thesis is the outcome of interviews I conducted with civil servants at the municipality of
Tilburg, with bar managers and with the consumers of night-time entertainment.
