Non-auction days
Non-auction days 2022
Here is the overview of the non-auction days in 2022 for our export locations (subject to approval of the Works Council).
2022 | Day | Date | Week |
Easter Monday | Monday | 18 April | 16 |
King's Day | Wednesday | 27 April | 17 |
Ascension Day | Thursday | 26 May | 21 |
Whit Monday | Monday | 6 June | 23 |
Boxing Day (Christmas) | Monday | 26 December | 52 |
The starting point, as in previous years, is good logistical services (esp. dealing with direct trade) for suppliers and customers on the days when there are no auctions.
Early auction days
For 2022 we have designated six early auction days. On these days auctioning starts an hour earlier at the export locations for both flowers and plants.
Day | Date | Week | 2022 |
Tuesday | 19 April | 16 | Tuesday after Easter |
Monday | 25 April | 17 | Extra early auction day on the Monday before King's Day |
Monday | 2 May | 18 | Busiest Monday for Dutch Mother's Day |
Monday | 23 May | 21 | After Mother's Day and in the week of Ascension |
Monday (extra) | 30 May | 22 | Monday after Ascension weekend |
Tuesday | 7 June | 23 | Tuesday after Withsun |
For logistics, there is an additional possibility to announce several additional early auction days. This gives flexibility to scale up if the service comes under pressure.
