Tips & Advice
- Have children colour in the wizard's colouring page at home and bring it along, because they get a surprise when they meet the wizard at the castle farm.
- Follow the signposted parking routes and the traffic wardens when you arrive, because there are only a limited number of parking spaces around the historic centre.
- Drop into the Abdijconcertinos in the abbey church between browsing the stalls, because you can walk in and out between the ensembles.
- Wheelchair users should know that the hall above the Koninklijke Harmonie and the knights' hall at Kasteelhoeve De Grote Hegge are the only locations without wheelchair access.
- Tell the photographer or the organisers if you'd rather not be photographed, because photos taken at the market may be used for promotion and social media.
