As a resident of Arnhem, of course this event cannot be missed. The 2-day flea market in the GelreDome in Arnhem is one of the larger events in the region for second-hand items, antiques, vintage furniture and curiosities. So for lovers of reuse and unique interior pieces, this is an event not to be missed. On November 22 & 23, 2025 this market is scheduled again, with as many as 550 stalls in the Gelredome in Arnhem.

Atmosphere & Assortment:
A visit to the snuffelmarkt in Arnhem will take you a couple of hours. Of course it is nice to be on time so you can set your own pace. Because it is such a big event it is also very crowded. Therefore, count on an afternoon of strolling among all kinds of different stalls. Vintage, brocante, curio stalls can be found scattered throughout the market. But it would not be called a flea market if there were no stalls with children's toys, second-hand clothes or real flea market stalls.
Although there are via Van Aerle Markets often find the same exhibitors, it always remains to be seen what ratio there is between the quality stalls and the "junk" stalls. Despite that, it's a fun outing and chances are you'll walk out of the stadium with something nice. This is also one of the reasons why I never skip the event.
At the 2 day flea market in Gelredome Arnhem there is room for a snack and a drink. Furthermore you can use debit cards, so you can always score your vintage gem, even if you don't have cash with you. Often you can do this near the entrance or the foodtrucks.
Our own review
If you get there early you can find some nice gems here. Although you have to be a little lucky with which stalls are there. Sometimes it is less quality and more 'junk'. But it is a lovely outing and you can spend an afternoon strolling along about 550 stalls.
"Low-threshold vintage hunting is definitely possible here and it's a fun outing if you can stand the crowds a bit!"
(3/5 stars)

Weekend of Thrift Shopping & Vintage Hunting in Arnhem Area
A weekend of thrift shopping & vintage hunting in the Arnhem area? You can during the weekend of November 22 & 23! So not only the flea market in Gelredome, but also with the Velper Sneupdays on November 21 & 22 in Velp near Arnhem. Get a lovely hotel in the center of Arnhem and grab the Friday market in the market square still with us. There are some vintage stalls here too! Have fun.
