Last-minute present sorted. On Christmas Eve Variaworld sets up its Christmas edition in the middle of Almere’s shopping centre, on the Schutterstraat, just round the corner from its own record shop in the Citadel. The summer outdoor edition here had around 40 stalls of LPs, singles and CDs.
It is a relaxed way to spend the morning of 24 December: flick through crates, grab a coffee, and head home with something wrapped for under the tree.
