The Christmas spirit is already in full swing in Tilburg. The city centre is beautifully decorated and lit up, and the shops have also done a lovely job with their window displays. Winter in Tilburg is, of course, in full swing, but there are lots of lovely events taking place in various parts of Tilburg. Will you be popping along to one of the Christmas markets? We’ve listed them for you.

Conservatory at Villa Pastorie

It’s slowly becoming a tradition: the Winter Garden. On Saturday 16 December, you’re welcome to join us at Villa Pastorie for a cosy market and a tasty (hot) treat.
16 December, 12 noon – 6 pm, Villa Pastorie (Piushaven).

Swan Market Christmas Edition

A few times a year, the Swan Market at the Wagenmakerij. The timing for this edition couldn’t be better for last-minute Christmas shoppers. This creative lifestyle market is the place to go to find an original Christmas present.
17 December, 11 am – 5 pm, Wagenmakerij (Railway zone).

Dwalerij Christmas Edition

The Wandering describes itself as a ‘Sunday market for foodies and fun shoppers’. This year’s final edition will have a full Christmas theme, so it’s sure to be full of festive cheer!
17 December, 12 noon – 5 pm, Wandering Grounds.

Bohemian Christmas market

For the first time, just before Christmas, part of the Paleisring will also be completely transformed into a Christmas market, a Bohemian Christmas market In fact. Stalls selling last-minute gifts and food trucks ensure you won’t get bored in the city. The proceeds from this Christmas market go to charity.
21–24 December, Paleisring.

Tilburg Christmas Antiques Market

You probably don’t need any more Christmas presents by now, but the traditional Tilburg Christmas Antiques Fair in the Koepelhal is still highly recommended. It’s been a household name in the Netherlands for 40 years!
