SUMMARY:ISU Speed Skating World Cup Heerenveen 2026
DESCRIPTION:If you have never seen speed skating in the Netherlands\, Thialf is where it makes sense. The Dutch treat this sport the way South Africans treat rugby\, and a World Cup weekend in Heerenveen means a packed stand\, a brass band and a lot of orange. \nThe third World Cup round of the 2026/27 season lands on the Sinterklaas weekend\, so expect a few Pieten in the crowd too. Even if you cannot name a single skater\, the noise when a Dutch rider hits the final straight is worth the trip north. \n\nWhen: Friday 4 to Sunday 6 December 2026\nWhere: Thialf\, Pim Mulierlaan 1\, Heerenveen\nTickets: sold through schaatsen.nl\, check the official site for prices and session times\nGetting there: trains run to Heerenveen station\, about 2 km from the rink\, with local buses and taxis for the last stretch.\n\nGood to know: the ice hall is cold\, so bring a warm layer and a hat even though you are indoors. \nPlanning your year?

SUMMARY:Platenbeurs Hoogeveen
DESCRIPTION:Hoogeveen’s pre-Christmas fair sets up in De Tamboer\, the town’s theatre on the Hoofdstraat\, and has become a December tradition for record fans in Drenthe. Alongside new and used vinyl from classic rock to current pop\, earlier editions have had thousands of Dutch pirate singles at €2 each\, which is a rabbit hole all of its own. \nIt is a long way from the Randstad\, but worth combining with a winter weekend in the Drenthe countryside. \n\nWhen: Sunday 20 December 2026\, 10:00 to 17:00\nWhere: De Tamboer\, Hoofdstraat 17\, 7902 EA Hoogeveen\nTickets: Entry has been free at previous editions; check the organiser’s site closer to the date\nGetting there: From Amsterdam Centraal allow about two hours by train\, changing at Zwolle; De Tamboer is on the main shopping street in the town centre\n\nGood to know: If Dutch-language pirate singles are your thing\, head there early. \nMore record fairs: Upcoming vinyl record fairs in the Netherlands.
