Deventer book market - Sunday 2 August 2026
The largest book market in Europe.
Get ready for a day full of stories, inspiration, and discovery at the largest book market in Europe.
On Sunday, 2 August, 2026, the 36th edition of the Deventer Book Market will take place in the charming book and Hanseatic city of Deventer. The historic city center will once again host an impressive selection of thousands of books, coming from renowned booksellers and antiquarian shops from all over the Netherlands.
The ‘Word value Festival’ also adds to the richness of the day, with inspiring writer meet-ups, readings, and workshops that give the program extra depth.
The market officially starts at 9:30 AM, but for many visitors, the day begins early.
From 7:00 AM, the first enthusiasts gather to be among the first to browse the stalls.
Every year, the Deventer Book Market attracts thousands of visitors who are amazed by the huge variety of genres. From children’s books and poetry to literature, comics, art, and topography, there’s something for every book lover to discover.
You can find the book The Sun In His Eyes in Dutch on the ‘Order with the author’ display table
at Schrijversplein in Deventer.
