Tips & Advice
- Come in the afternoon if you want a horse-drawn carriage ride, since the carriage only runs then and you board it at Kerkplein.
- Bring the kids to meet the singing Santa and his elves, and have a camera ready because they pose for photos with children.
- Arrive hungry, as food trucks and stalls selling winter treats are part of the market alongside the Christmas gift stalls.
- Give yourself time to browse, since more than 100 stalls fill the centre with Christmas products and gifts.
- Vendors and food trucks who want a pitch should email RC Events and state exactly what they sell, so the organizers can plan a varied layout.
