For one Sunday, Metropool in Enschede, one of Twente’s main pop venues, turns into a big record shop. Variaworld’s dealers fill the hall with LPs, singles, CDs and music memorabilia, and the venue’s music café is open for a coffee between crates.

If you live in the Randstad this is a long trip, but it pairs nicely with a weekend in Twente or a hop over the German border, which is only a short drive away.

  • When: Sunday 4 October 2026, 11:00 to 16:30
  • Where: Metropool Enschede, Willem Wilminkplein 2, 7511 PG Enschede
  • Tickets: €5.50, both in advance and at the door
  • Getting there: Direct Intercity trains from Amsterdam Centraal take about two hours; the venue is in the city centre, within walking distance of Enschede station

Good to know: Note the later start than most Variaworld fairs: doors open at 11:00.
