Leiden’s record fair takes place in Zaal Scheltema, part of the Scheltema complex on the Marktsteeg in the old city centre, a cultural venue with a theatre hall, foyer and café. Variaworld’s dealers fill the hall with LPs, singles and CDs across the genres.
It is an easy trip from Haarlem or Amsterdam and pairs well with a canal-side stroll, or a coffee in one of the city’s many student cafés.
