BielefeldKreativ Bielefeld

BielefeldKreativ is an annual consumer exhibition held at Stadthalle Bielefeld, dedicated to crafts, handicrafts, DIY and creative making. It has established itself as one of the leading meeting places for hobby crafters, artisan makers, sewing enthusiasts, craft lovers and families throughout the East Westphalia region.

The event is organised by Okken GmbH, an experienced exhibition organiser specialising in consumer and trade fairs. Its aim is to bring creative people together, showcase the latest trends, introduce high-quality materials and give visitors the opportunity to try out a wide range of techniques firsthand while exchanging ideas with exhibitors and fellow enthusiasts.

The exhibition focuses on sewing, textiles, needlecraft, painting, drawing, paper crafts, jewellery making, artisan crafts, and cake decorating. Visitors can browse an extensive selection of fabrics, wool, yarns, patchwork supplies, buttons, haberdashery, paints, brushes, paper, origami and scrapbooking materials, stamps, beads, gemstones and jewellery-making accessories. The range is complemented by contemporary creative products such as resin, silicone moulds, wooden craft kits and many of the latest innovations from the DIY sector. In addition, artisan makers present handcrafted one-of-a-kind pieces, decorative items, home accessories and finely crafted work in wood, metal, ceramics and textiles.

One of the exhibition's defining features is its highly interactive atmosphere. A wide variety of hands-on workshops for both adults and children, live demonstrations of new creative techniques, and an arts and crafts market included in the admission price make for an engaging and immersive visitor experience. Rather than simply viewing products, visitors can test materials for themselves, learn new skills and gain inspiration from experienced artists, designers and craftspeople.

Exhibitors primarily represent the fields of needlecraft supplies, fabrics and textiles, arts and crafts materials, artists' supplies, jewellery design, paper crafts, creative materials, artisan crafts, home décor and cake decorating supplies. The exhibitor line-up is further enhanced by independent makers, small creative businesses and specialist retailers showcasing their latest products and services. The exhibition is aimed primarily at the general public, DIY enthusiasts, hobby artists, sewing enthusiasts, crafters, families, and both beginners and experienced makers. It also attracts artisan makers, workshop tutors, designers and retailers looking to discover new trends, materials and techniques.

Combining shopping, inspiration, hands-on workshops and personal interaction, BielefeldKreativ has become one of the region's leading creative exhibitions. Its venue, Stadthalle Bielefeld, enjoys a central location and is easily accessible by public transport via the adjacent main railway station, as well as by car via the regional road network.

The BielefeldKreativ takes place for the 5th time on 2 days from Sat., 06.02.2027 to Sun., 07.02.2027 in Bielefeld.
