Brocante Scherzo de Bourges

The Brocante Scherzo: When Music Meets Treasure Hunting

Scherzo, an artistic activity center well-known to the people of Bourges, organizes its flea market annually at the Halle au Blé, in the heart of Bourges. The originality of this event lies in its dual focus: a classic general flea market, complemented by musical items where instruments, sheet music, vinyl records, and sound equipment find buyers. This unique formula attracts an eclectic audience, from traditional treasure hunters to music lovers seeking rare finds.

The Halle au Blé: An Exceptional Setting

The Halle au Blé in Bourges, a heritage building from the 18th century, offers a covered and bright setting for this event. Stalls are set up inside the hall and spill outside when the weather permits, providing a significant area for treasure hunting. Located in the city center, a stone's throw from the Saint-Étienne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Halle au Blé is easily accessible on foot from all the historic districts of Bourges.

Scherzo: A Committed Cultural Actor

Scherzo, a cultural association based in Bourges, enlivens the local artistic scene through workshops, concerts, and cultural events. The annual flea market is one of its flagship events, contributing to the financing of its activities while creating a moment of conviviality and sharing. Association volunteers ensure the welcome of exhibitors, fast food service, and drinks throughout the day.

Practical Information

Spaces are available at 3 euros per linear meter. Coffee is offered to exhibitors. The event takes place rain or shine thanks to the covered structure of the Halle au Blé.
