what can i expect at thriftpark?
spanning over 6,000 sqm, thriftpark is a curated market festival designed around everything that girls love <3 — creativity, wellness, self-expression, feel-good beauty, and immersive experiences.
at the heart, thriftpark is a carefully curated flea market filled with unique vintage gems and pre-loved pieces sold by girls like you — think of it as a real-life vinted, where personal closets meet one-of-a-kind finds.
alongside thrifting, you can join a wide range of creative and wellness workshops, from pottery and hands-on craft sessions to matcha workshops, tarot readings, pilates classes, and DIY experiences in jewelry, fashion, and home décor.
you’ll also discover a selection of handpicked brands with selling booths and interactive activations across beauty, fashion, wellness, lifestyle and sports (we even have reformed pilates!!) — making thriftpark a full day of shopping, creating, and connecting.
whether you come to thrift, create, explore, or simply soak up the atmosphere, thriftpark is designed to be a place where you can spend the entire day and leave inspired.

i run a small business and would love to sell my products or host a workshop at thriftpark. how can I apply?
you can apply as an exhibitor by filling out this form. share some details about yourself and your business, and we will get back to you as soon as possible!
how can i sell my pre-loved fashion at the flea market?
for the next edition, we want to make sure there’s a wide range of sizes, styles, and aesthetics represented to keep the flea market as diverse as possible. if you receive one of the selling spots, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
the booth fee is €50 and includes a selling booth (half a tent: 3 m x 1.5 m) with clothing racks.
is there an age restriction?
there is no age restriction. however, children aged 6 and above require a ticket & we cannot offer discounts for children. kids under 6 can enter for free.
will there be food and drinks on-site?
yes! You’ll find a variety of local food vendors serving delicious snacks and refreshing drinks. please note that bringing your own food and drinks is not allowed. also, food and drinks are NOT included in the entrance fee.
how can I become part of the thriftpark team and help on-site?
we’d love your help! send your application to [email protected]. for more opportunities beyond on-site volunteering, check our careers page. 💘
how do the workshops work?
most workshops are walk-ins. you can sign up directly at the stand on site, pay, and join the workshop.
some hosts offer pre-registration — please check our website under “vendors & workshops”. if a pre-registration link is available, you’ll find it listed with the respective host.
are the workshops free of charge?
most workshops are run by young entrepreneurs who invest resources and materials (e.g., pottery art).
unfortunately, it’s not possible to include these resource-intense workshops in the ticket price. the same applies to food and drinks. your entrance fee helps cover venue rental, utilities, staff, security, decorations, insurance, and more.
we strive to keep ticket prices low and hope you understand that not everything can be free. however, there’s still plenty of fun stuff to enjoy on-site at no extra cost!
is the venue covered?
yes, the venue is covered.
are there lockers or a cloakroom available?
yes, lockers are available on site for a small fee.
are children and men allowed?
absolutely! while thriftpark has a girly theme, everyone is welcome to join.
what payment methods are accepted inside the venue?
payment info: thriftpark is a PIN-only event, meaning all vendors accept debit & credit card payments – no cash for food, drinks, workshops & vendor stuff.
exception: bring cash for the flea market! while we encourage all girlies that sell to accept Tikkie/iDeal, we can’t guarantee it for everyone.
is the venue accessible for wheelchairs?
yes, the Centrale Markthal is accessible for people in wheelchairs, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
we’ll organize a pick-up service for you, and all the details will be sent to you via email.
