Venray's social life centres on the Grote Markt, where the Sint-Petrus Bandenkerk looks out over cafés and restaurant terraces. Rent a place within walking distance and you meet friends on the square in the evening without the car.

Every winter, carnival (vastelaovend) takes over the centre for several days, a Limburg tradition locals plan their year around.
