description
Around eighty exhibitors offer tasteful home accessories, Christmas decorations, art and fashion in the pre-Christmas ambience of Ippenburg Castle. Among others, 35 of the best brocante exhibitors from the Netherlands, the home of high-quality flea markets, have been invited. The focus here is not on the goods on offer, but on the loving presentation and originality of the pieces.
The culinary offer is autumnal before Christmas: Spicy, warm, sweet or savory, it caresses the palate. Relax with a glass of hot punch or a delicious fire tong punch. The Ippenburg Brocante Festival is rounded off by program highlights such as baking Christmas cookies and making Advent wreaths. Perhaps you would also like to make sparkling Christmas decorations together with your children.
