VerzamelJaarbeurs Utrecht is one of the largest collectors' fairs in Europe and takes place in the Netherlands. Twice a year, the huge Jaareurs exhibition hall in the center of Utrecht is transformed into a collector's paradise, with 1000 stalls filled with unique vintage, antique and curious objects. As the name suggests (Verzamel Jaarbeurs means Collecting Fair), this event is especially dedicated to collectors of antique objects of all kinds.
The fair is held once in the spring and once in the fall. Tickets usually go on sale a few months before the event, with an "early bird" offer available at the start of sales, so it is a good idea for keen collectors to take advantage of this offer!
In addition to the size of the show, another reason to attend VerzamelJaarbeurs Utrecht is the opportunity to meet and share inspiration with other collectors. This event has been described as one of the coziest collectors' fairs, and you will often see people sitting together, learning more about each other's passions and admiring the treasures they have found at the fair. For such a large event, it is wonderful that it maintains such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Almost anything that can be considered 'collectible' can be found at VerzamelJaarbeurs Utrecht. Helpfully, the exhibitors are divided into categories or zones, so that as a visitor you know exactly where to go for your own collecting needs! Vintage furniture can be found alongside vinyl records, toys from all eras, games, stamps, postcards, photography, cameras, radios, pocket watches, porcelain and endless decorative and curious items.
VerzamelJaarbeurs Utrecht takes place over a weekend. As a trader, it is possible to purchase a ticket that gives you early access to this fair, allowing you to visit all the exhibitions on Friday evening before the fair officially starts. For others, a day or weekend ticket is available, and children under 12 get in free. Of course, avid collectors want to get into this fair as early as possible, so Saturday tickets tend to be a little more in demand than Sunday tickets.
