Platenbeurs Gouda

The smallest record fair in the Netherlands, inside Gouda's 15th century Agnietenkapel, with free entry and a handful of dealers.

Billed by its organiser as the smallest record fair in the Netherlands, this one is all about the setting. The Agnietenkapel is a Gothic chapel from the mid 15th century, the last remnant of a convent on the Nieuwe Markt, and in its time it has been a carpet workshop and, for almost 300 years, a pawnshop.

Expect a handful of dealers rather than hundreds of metres of crates, which makes it a relaxed dig. Combine it with a wander through Gouda’s centre, a look at the Sint-Janskerk’s stained glass and, obviously, some cheese.

  • When: Saturday 10 October 2026, 10:00 to 17:00
  • Where: Agnietenkapel, Nieuwe Markt 100, 2801 GR Gouda
  • Tickets: Free entry
  • Getting there: From Amsterdam or Haarlem allow about an hour by train to Gouda; the Nieuwe Markt is a few minutes’ walk from the station

Good to know: Small fair, small room: go early if you want first pick.
