On Saturday, 11 June 2011 from 10am to 5pm, the annual Leiden Bee Market will take place. For 70 years the market has attracted thousands of visitors.

You can buy all sorts of unusual and handmade products at the market, such as wooden toys, handmade dolls, original handmade gifts, and natural products such as artisan cheeses, felt, textiles, and handmade silk scarves.
