Tender Cuts 2026 is a month-long art festival held in Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from 25 October to 22 November and takes place at Den Brune Kødby, the venue that gives the festival its setting in the city.
What to expect
The festival brings together several kinds of activity under one programme:
- art works
- performances
- talks
- workshops
- guided tours
Because the programme mixes looking, listening and taking part, it suits visitors who like to move between viewing and joining in, rather than a single kind of event.
Planning a visit
Tender Cuts is spread across four weeks, so a visit can be fitted around a trip to Copenhagen in late autumn. Since the programme covers talks, workshops and tours alongside the art, it is worth checking the current schedule to see which sessions fall on the days you are in the city.

Den Brune Kødby is the heart of the festival, so most of the activity will be found there. Visitors can plan their time in the city around the venue and make the festival the centre of a day out.
