Markets

Saturday market

Even if you do not have to go shopping, the Saturday market is an experience. Here all kinds of Turnhout people buy their fresh produce. While trying tasty local produce, you will be entertained by enthusiastic market vendors.

‘Two kilos for one euro!’

Every Saturday between 8 am and 12.30 pm there’s a special buzz about the Grote Markt. The Saturday market is a tradition for Turnhout residents. The delicious aromas of fresh food, the call of market vendors and children eating candy, all radiate a welcoming cosiness. You will also find textiles, flowers, leather goods and cleaning products.

Antiques and curios market

The Sunday antique market attracts visitors and shoppers to de Warande every weekend. Every weekend you can enjoy a cosy, pleasant atmosphere in the heart of the city. Undoubtedly you are going home with something ‘new’.

Second hand baubles

Throughout the year you can wander around the castle grounds and de Warande at the antiques market, every Sunday morning from 7 am to 12.30 pm. It’s pleasant to be amongst the nostalgic atmosphere. Forgotten toys are looking for new playmates, gadgets are there for an apple and an egg, forgotten treasures re-surface.

Wednesday market

The evening market allows people to enjoy the beautiful surroundings at the marina. Stroll past the bakery, the fishmongers and greengrocers, the large olive stall, buy a bouquet of flowers, pick up a sandwich or a chicken for the table and finish with a glass of cava or a visit to the cocktail and gin bar with a different menu every week!
