SUMMARY:DSW Bruggenloop Rotterdam
DESCRIPTION:The DSW Bruggenloop is a 15 km run over Rotterdam’s famous bridges\, timed so that you run at sunset with the skyline lighting up and strings of lights along the bridges. It is a very Rotterdam way to end the running year\, and a good excuse to see the Erasmusbrug on foot without the traffic. \nThis is the 34th edition. The race is sold out\, so it is one for cheering unless you already have a bib. \n\nWhen: Sunday 13 December 2026. Waves at 15:00\, 15:15\, 15:30\, 15:45 and 16:00\nWhere: Start and finish at Stadion Feijenoord (De Kuip)\, Van Zandvlietplein 1\, Rotterdam\nDistances: 15 km\nTickets: Sold out (entry was €44\, including a running light). Join the waitlist on the official site in case extra places are released\nGetting there: Train to Rotterdam Centraal\, then tram towards De Kuip\, or train to Rotterdam Zuid and walk about 15 minutes\n\nGood to know: It gets dark and cold quickly in December\, so spectators should wrap up and bring a torch or light for the walk back. \nMore races and walks: Running and walking events in the Netherlands 2026.

SUMMARY:Platenbeurs Rotterdam
DESCRIPTION:Few record fairs have a setting like this. The Laurenskerk is the only medieval building left in Rotterdam’s centre\, a late Gothic church that survived the 1940 bombing\, and for one day its nave becomes what the organisers call the biggest record shop in Rotterdam. \nRecent editions have had around 70 stands\, with dealers from the Netherlands\, Belgium\, Germany and France covering rock\, jazz\, pop\, electro\, disco\, house\, classical and Dutch-language music. Digging for records under Gothic vaults beats a sports hall every time. \n\nWhen: Saturday 19 December 2026\, 10:00 to 17:00\nWhere: Laurenskerk\, Grotekerkplein 27\, Rotterdam\nTickets: Sold via platenbeurs.nl; check the site for the price\nGetting there: Direct trains from Amsterdam Centraal to Rotterdam Centraal take about 40 minutes; the church is a few minutes’ walk from Rotterdam Blaak station\n\nGood to know: Old churches are chilly in December\, so keep your coat on. \nMore record fairs: Upcoming vinyl record fairs in the Netherlands.

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.

SUMMARY:NK Allround and Sprint Speed Skating 2026
DESCRIPTION:Need something to do in that strange gap between Christmas and New Year? The Dutch national allround and sprint championships fill it nicely. Allround means skaters race several distances and the best all-rounder wins\, while the sprint title goes to whoever is fastest over the short distances. \nBecause Dutch skating is so deep\, a national championship here is often stronger than international races elsewhere\, and places for the European Championships a fortnight later are on the line. It is a relaxed holiday outing with serious racing on the ice. \n\nWhen: Sunday 27 and Monday 28 December 2026\nWhere: Thialf\, Pim Mulierlaan 1\, Heerenveen\nTickets: via schaatsen.nl\, check the official site for prices and times\nGetting there: train to Heerenveen station\, then a local bus\, taxi or a walk of roughly 2 km.\n\nGood to know: holiday train timetables can be thinner than usual\, so check your return connection before you go. \nPlanning your year?

SUMMARY:Unox New Year's Dive Scheveningen 2027
DESCRIPTION:Nothing clears a New Year’s Eve head like the North Sea in January. The Nieuwjaarsduik (New Year’s Dive) is a proper Dutch tradition: at noon on 1 January\, thousands of people in matching orange Unox beanies charge into water of around 5 degrees\, scream\, and charge straight back out again. Scheveningen hosts the biggest and most famous one. \nFor South Africans used to a braai on the beach at New Year\, it is a rather different way to see in the year\, but it is weirdly joyful and you will have a story for life. \n\nWhen: Friday 1 January 2027. Registration opens at 10:30\, warm-up at about 11:45\, and the dive is at 12:00\nWhere: Scheveningen beach by the Pier (Scheveningen Bad)\, Den Haag\nTickets: €4 per diver\, paid on site by card or cash; no advance booking. Everyone gets an Unox hat\nGetting there: train to Den Haag Centraal\, then tram to Scheveningen. Parking is very limited.\n\nGood to know: bring a towel\, a warm robe and dry clothes that are easy to pull on. Lockers can be rented at the APCOA car park on Nieuwe Parklaan.

DESCRIPTION:Jumping Amsterdam is the capital’s big indoor horse show and has been running for more than six decades. Top international riders compete in World Cup show jumping and dressage\, and the evenings turn into a proper night out with music and shows between the classes. \nYou do not have to be horsey to enjoy it. The jumps are huge\, the arena is close to the action and there is plenty of shopping and food around the halls if the children lose interest. \n\nWhen: Thursday 28 to Sunday 31 January 2027\nWhere: RAI Amsterdam\nTickets: from €15\, check the official site for the full programme and prices\nGetting there: Amsterdam RAI station is a short walk away\, with trains from Schiphol and Amsterdam Zuid\, or take metro 52 from Amsterdam Centraal to Europaplein.\n\nGood to know: evening sessions are the most atmospheric and run late\, so book a daytime session with young children. \nPlanning your year? See everything on the events calendar.
