Are you clearing out your attic, sorting through old treasures, or just on the lookout for that one-of-a-kind sixties lamp or a rare vinyl? Then mark your calendar for The Betonnerie, Utrecht's favourite second-hand market, happening every last Sunday of the month. This is not just a flea market- it's a community celebration of sustainability, creativity, and connection.

More Than a Market: A Movement

Held at Beton-T, Utrecht's new and experimental city square, The Betonnerie is a relaxed and welcoming Sunday escape. Whether you are selling, browsing, or just sipping coffee and soaking up the vibes, it's the perfect way to wind down the weekend.

From preloved clothing and retro furniture to plants and stylish upcycled gems, everything on offer tells a story- and gets a new lease on life. By shopping or selling here, you're not only keeping items out of landfills but also supporting a circular economy and a more sustainable lifestyle.

A Local Hub for Global Connections

The Betonnerie is all about bringing people together. It's a space where neighbors become friends, cultures connect, and conversations flow as easily as the locally brewed coffee. With 100 to 120 stands and 1000 to 2000 visitors each market day, there's always someone new to meet and something unexpected to find.

Private sellers and well-known green brands share the stage, making it a colourful mix of community spirit and eco-conscious entrepreneurship.

More Than Just Shopping

Think of The Betonnerie as a Flea Market Plus- where the extras make all the difference. Enjoy live music while you wander the aisles, grab a tasty bite from inventive local food vendors, and take part in fun, free extras like upcycling workshops, color and interior styling advice, creative pop-ups, and interactive experiences.

It's a full day out, whether you come for the treasures, the tunes, or just a good chat with new friends.
