A record fair on a Thursday? The Kick Off Platenbeurs is Utrecht’s midweek dig, held on the Vredenburg in the heart of the city, right between Hoog Catharijne and TivoliVredenburg. Previous editions have drawn between 51 and 100 stands of LPs, singles and CDs.
Because it sits so close to Utrecht Centraal, it works as a lunch break raid for anyone who works in Utrecht, or a good excuse to take a day off.
- When: Thursday 12 November 2026, 10:00 to 17:00
