Warme Wintermarkt (Warm Winter Market) is a Christmas market in Gouda, the Netherlands with a focus on unique, local, handmade, and vintage items. You can find a variety of products for sale at the market, from warm felted sheepskins and handmade glassware to vintage wool sweaters and cheerful candles, as well as small artworks and even a belt made from worn bicycle tires.
In addition to plenty of gifts, you’ll find winter treats, (Christmas) tunes, and fires to warm up by. You can make your own poffertjes (small Dutch pancakes), have a delicious winter soup, taste winter beer from local breweries or warm up with glühwein and hot chocolate.
This Christmas market in Gouda is organised the weekend after the Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations. For those with unwanted gifts from Sinterklaas, there is a gift exchange, which provides the opportunity to effortlessly swap that Sinterklaas gift for a more suitable Christmas present.
