Kolvenburg Advent Market Billerbeck

The Kolvenburg Advent Market in Billerbeck is an annual pre-Christmas event that takes place every year in mid-November against the picturesque backdrop of Kolvenburg. As a festive kick-off to the advent season, this market attracts not only locals but also visitors from the entire Coesfeld district and beyond..

The venue itself, the Kolvenburg, is particularly suited for this atmospheric market. This historic building gives the market a unique atmosphere. Its medieval architecture, complete with thick walls and fortified towers, provides an impressive setting for the festively decorated stalls.

The market stalls are spread both in the courtyard and within the rooms of the Kolvenburg, allowing visitors to enjoy the market regardless of the weather. The spread of the market over this historic site creates an ambiance that radiates tradition and coziness.

The Advent Market is distinguished by its variety of artisanal crafts and self-made products from regional artisans. From lovingly designed Christmas cards to handmade candles and Bascetta stars, to stone, wood, and textile works – the diversity of ideas and the artisanal skill of the exhibitors are impressive.

A special feature of the market is the selection of homemade jams and preserves, which are especially popular and sought after by visitors. In addition, traditional delicacies such as Christmas baked goods and warm dishes are offered by the numerous food stalls. A cup of mulled wine or Feuerzangenbowle is perfect for warding off the winter chill.
