St Matthew Passion, Bergkerk Deventer

Every year, the Bergkerk in Deventer hosts the Matthäus Passion. The much-vaunted cross arrangement is not just a theoretical idea, but makes for a completely different experience. We often hear from visitors that it is precisely the cross arrangement that makes the performance so special.

Bergkwartier Deventer and Dickens Festival in Deventer

With its picturesque appearance, the Berg Quarter attracts tourists to the city and hosts the annual Dickens Festival here in December. Here you will also come across the medieval Sint Nicolaas or Bergkerk and the large Synagogue, among others. Walstraat is now home to shops with specialist offerings. More than 900 extras take part and it is the largest Dickens Festival in the Netherlands.

Deventer op Stelten

This fest takes place the first half of July and performances can be seen all over the city. The monumental city centre gives the performances something magical, something surreal. Very spectacular and great for families.

Book market

Deventer Book Market is the largest in Europe with 900 stalls along the river IJssel and in the city centre. As many as 6 km of books, books and more books. And every year a very valuable book is also found that will win the top prize at Kunst en Kitsch. So for a bookworm this is walhalla and for a collector utopia. Look here for more information. The offer ranges from children’s books to poetry, literature to comics and books on sports to history. In 2014, the Deventer Book Market received the Boudewijn Büch Prize, because for more than 25 years it has interested a wide audience in antiquarian and second-hand books.
