Join us on Saturday 17 May for a true taste of coastal life. The Open-Air Stage hosts an authentic fish auction led by Hanstholm Fish Auction from Northwest Jutland. Experience the thrill of a real fish auction—complete with fresh catches, lively bidding, and plenty of good humour. Whether you’re here to place a bid or simply soak up the atmosphere, you’re in for a fun and flavourful event.

You’ll be able to bid on a variety of freshly caught fish and shellfish, including plaice, hake, cod, halibut, lobster, langoustine, ling, pollack, and turbot. Simply bid during the auction, pay on site, and we’ll keep your fish chilled until you’re ready to leave Tivoli Gardens, ensuring a delicious, North Sea-fresh dinner awaits. Please note: All fish must be collected by 20:00.

It’s a proud and time-honoured trade built on quality, expertise, and a strong commitment to sustainability.
