Bargain hunters scour the free market during King’s Day, looking for that one gem among all the dilapidated trade. But who will give a penny for the urn whose ashes have just been scattered? Really, for sale in Zevenbergen.
It’s always fun to browse the free market during King’s Day. Curiosity about what is for sale usually wins out. Usually, because, let’s face it, a rare gem for a mere penny won’t let you just walk away. And there is plenty of unique merchandise in Zevenbergen. Such as the ‘beautiful antiques from the 1970s’ by street vendor Wesley. Dressed in an orange number 14 football shirt, he slaloms through his gear like an accomplished Johan Cruijff to quickly recommend something.
