Christmast market Fluweelengrot Valkenburg

The most atmospheric Christmas market in the Netherlands

From November 14 to December 30, 2025, we will be opening the doors of the Velvet Cave Christmas market in Valkenburg for the 26th time. Experience the most atmospheric indoor Christmas event in the Netherlands,
which has been attracting visitors from home and abroad for years.

Stroll through the centuries-old underground corridors, bathed in lights and
warm Christmas spirit. Wander past attractively lit stalls with Christmas
decorations, delicious treats, and gifts—from small to luxury presents.


We look forward to welcoming you to the Velvet Cave, the place to experience the Christmas spirit in a special way.
