Winter Glow Bruges
About fifty minutes by car from EuroParcs Schoneveld, Bruges glows longer than ever this winter: Winter Glow runs from 20 November 2026 to 14 February 2027. Two Christmas markets in the historic centre, on the Markt and Simon Stevinplein, are open from 20 November to 3 January, Sunday to Thursday from 11 am to 8 pm and Friday and Saturday until 9 pm. In Koning Albert I Park you will find the ice rink, open daily from 10 am to 10 pm (€ 9.00 per person, children up to 3 free), with the IJsgloed winter bar next to it under a canopy of lights. From 18 to 20 December, the Stadshallen host the Handmade in Brugge MAKERSmarkt with handmade gifts.
New this year: the light walk makes way for the Winter Giant, a brand-new Bruges legend that parades through the streets on 30 and 31 January 2027. Tip: Bruges is best explored on foot, and in the festive season there are car-free shopping days with free public transport.
Mornings on the beach at Breskens, afternoons along the canals of Bruges. Book your winter stay at EuroParcs Schoneveld and combine beach, dunes and Bruges in full Christmas spirit.
Winter Wonder Weeks
From November 26, 2026, through January 3, 2027, the Solftplaats in Berendrecht will once again transform into a charming winter village during the Winter Wonder Weeks. For five weeks, you can enjoy the festive winter atmosphere with a covered ice rink, cozy stalls, delicious snacks, and hot drinks. There’s plenty to do for all ages, from kids’ discos and DJ nights to curling, a Christmas market, and special meet-and-greets with Santa Claus. The Winter Wonder Weeks offer a fun winter outing for the whole family and bring extra cheer and warmth to the darkest days of the year.
