Visit the Winter Fair<\/strong>! On Friday, December 12th (10:00 AM \u2013 10:00 PM) and Saturday, December 14th (10:00 AM \u2013 5:00 PM), there will be a cozy Winter Fair at the Sint-Jan church in Gouda. Admission to the church is free during this unique event. A wonderful opportunity to admire the magnificent Sint-Jan church with its Gouda stained-glass windows from the inside and enjoy the hospitality at the same time. You can enjoy shopping at the various stalls, enjoy delicious food, and socialize at the food court. Your purchases also support charities. There will be musical performances, and during Gouda by Candlelight, there will be a concert. There will be time for reflection in the quiet center and prayer room, and an opportunity to experience the Christmas story in a special way. This makes the Winter Fair more than just a Christmas market.<\/p>\n
Lunch concert by Gerben Budding<\/strong> on the Moreau organ in St. John’s Church.<\/p>\n
