Zuidlaardermarkt (English)

The horse market will be held at De Brink between Zuiderstraat and 't Achterom. The animals will arrive during the night and early in the morning. All animals will be inspected by a vet at both entrances to the market terrain. After paying the market fees, participants are free to find a suitable place to hitch their animals. These spots are known as hitching posts. Annually returning traders reserve specific hitching posts (which will have their names attached). Traders unable to register beforehand can hitch their animals to any free hitching post.

Trading will start at 6 am. If a trader has found a potential buyer, he can show his horse off at the demonstration track which will be set up on site specifically for this purpose. A buyer will be able to see how the horse walks and performs. Trading will cease at 3 pm prompt, and the horses must have vacated the terrain by 4 pm.

The horse market rules

To ensure that the market is a pleasurable event for man and animals alike, traders must strictly adhere to the Animals Act and to our horse market regulations, as well as to current export legislation.

Only itinerant traders are permitted to take part in the goods market. Itinerant traders are professional marketeers who tour the various markets making a living by selling their goods and wares. You can view them as travelling shop owners.

Waiting list

There is always more demand for stall pitches than there are spaces. In addition, the local council also likes to see as wide a variety of products on sale as possible. We therefore work with a waiting list, which means we will be unable to offer a spot to everyone. By mid September, around eighty percent of the places will have been allocated. By that time it will be obvious how many metres may still be available for traders. Traders who unfortunately miss out will be informed in advance.

Registering as a trader for the market

Traders taking part in the Zuidlaardermarkt must be registered with the Chamber of Commerce. Even if a trader regularly takes part annually, he will still be required to provide valid proof of Chamber of Commerce registration. The registration form along with accompanying documents must be submitted to the local council before 1 July. Traders can only register using the digital form. Registrations which have arrived late, which are incomplete or requests by email or letter will not be considered. Traders can register here directly.

All traders permitted access will receive a giro payment slip for payment of the market fees. They will also receive an allocation confirmation, indicating a sector and a pitch number, for example sector C 106. Approximately two weeks before the Zuidlaardermarkt, the pitches and the accompanying numbers will be spray painted on the road surface. On the day itself, traders must follow the route to the sector they have been assigned to. There will be two inspectors per sector who will also guide the traders to their pitch. Trading can start at 6am.
