Large book market on Sunday at the inn square

This Sunday, September 4, the popular Bocholter Büchermarkt will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Gasthausplatz in Bocholt. In recent years, this has become a fixed date in the calendars of many book lovers.

A varied history of changing locations, initially in the courtyard of the classicist Woord manor house, then at the Kunsthaus Bocholt, due to construction work the book market moved to the center of the city last year. The provisional location at Gasthausplatz has now become a permanent venue.

This is where the historical book market will take place on Sunday, September 4, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., in keeping with the 800th anniversary of the city of Bocholt. About 30 market participants from Germany and the Netherlands offer their goods. Bookbinder Guido Pracca from Bredevoort will also be there again.

New is a dealer with vinyl & LPs from Düsseldorf. For the anniversary of the city of Bocholt, the city archive will show historical views of the city. The new "City History of the 20th Century", a cooperation project between deutz produktionsstudios GmbH and the Bocholt City Archive for the 800th anniversary of the city, will also be presented and offered.

In addition, there will be a musical supporting program, including performances by the duo "Alexandre & Anna" and a recorder ensemble from the music school.
