Dickens Festival Deventer
A weekend when 950+ Dickens characters fill the Bergkwartier; timed tickets, 12–13 December.
Day ticket online from €22.90 (age 4+, price depends on the date); €37.90 at the gate. Children up to 3 free. Parking: €11.50 online, €12.50 on site.
In Slagharen the Wild West switches to winter mode: from mid-November an ice rink and a new Funslide join the rides open at weekends. Sinterklaas and his Pieten visit on 21, 22, 28 and 29 November and 5 December, with a parade through the park. From 12 December it is Christmas time: a revamped Magical Winter Circus, an eight-metre Christmas tree with mascots Randy & Rosie and an illuminated winter parade to end the day. During the Christmas holidays the park is open daily from 11 am to 7 pm. Tip: the drive from Brussels takes over three hours, so a weekend with a night in the park's holiday bungalows is more relaxed; online tickets are much cheaper than at the gate.
