Burgdorf Horse and Pet Fair

Every third Saturday of the month from April through September, over 10,000 visitors and more than 150 exhibitors from all over northwestern Germany gather at the Pferdemarktplatz on Kleiner Brückendamm.

Horse and Rider Show Presented by the Burgdorfer Pferdeland Association

The Burgdorf Horse Market, open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., offers a unique selection of items. In addition to ponies and horses, the market also features poultry, rabbits, hamsters, pet birds, fish, pet supplies, and many other items.

The Burgdorf Horse and Pet Fair is complemented by a diverse program of events. Look forward to the horse show and sales demonstrations of sport horses for all disciplines presented by the Burgdorfer Pferdeland Association, historical exhibitions, demonstrations of traditional crafts, information booths, and the “Land & Garden” exhibition.

There’s no shortage of entertainment either: duck races, raffles, hands-on activities, street performers, and other program highlights ensure a varied lineup of entertainment. For children, there are activities organized by JohnnyB. in the Sparkasse Hannover kids’ tent, activities offered by Car Wash, and face painting by the Women’s and Mothers’ Center, among other things.

For animal welfare reasons, dogs are not allowed on the market grounds.
