<\/div>\n

A nice second-hand market is easily a party for an enthusiast, but the Betonnerie has a golden edge. With tasty food stalls, live music and a relaxed atmosphere, it feels more like a mini-festival than a flea market. Saskia visited the evening edition on a Friday night - Concrete from<\/em> - And was instantly sold. This second-hand market in Utrecht definitely belongs on the greener list!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Second-hand shopping in Utrecht at the Betonnerie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning out your attic? Or just in need of some new finds? Then the Betonnerie is your place. This cosy second-hand market descends every last Sunday of the month on Beton-T, the experimental city square on a former industrial site near Europalaan. Some months you are lucky and two editions are even organised: during the day on Sunday and once on Friday evening. Then the venue turns into the atmospheric Betonnuit. The atmosphere? More of a festival than a flea market. With food trucks, live music and a colourful mix of people, the place is always buzzing. And like any good market, you never know what you'll come across... but that's what makes it so much fun. Spoiler<\/em>: expect lots of clothes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I scored this at Betonnuit, Betonnerie's evening market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I myself scored an upcycled denim jacket for only 12 euros. An original find: an old thrift store coat, pimped up with embroidered paintings, which also came from the thrift store. And I also found a beautiful pink houseplant, a hand-painted dachshund drawing by a local artist (a perfect gift for a friend) and a delicious tempeh sandwich to eat right away. Tip:<\/em> Come by bike or ov. This is not only nice and sustainable, but also convenient: parking in the area is limited and quite pricey. From the parking fee, you can score a complete outfit. Don't say you weren't warned....<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delicious food at the Betonnerie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can just pop down to the market for a bite to eat and a drink - there are plenty of cosy food stalls - but you're also right next door. Karma Kebab<\/a> is a stone's throw away: fast food<\/em> starring vegetables, and also a super cosy place where the festival vibe continues. Or take a seat at The Crooked Herring<\/a>, a local brewery and tasting room where they serve quirky beers, often paired with surprisingly good food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
