Arts and Crafts Market Halle Gartlage Osnabrück (Autumn)

150 Exhibitors in an Industrial Setting

The Halle Gartlage, the former municipal slaughterhouse site at Schlachthofstraße 48, has been a popular venue for high-quality markets and trade fairs for many years. The Arts and Crafts Market uses the open hall with its high ceilings and brick facades as an exhibition space for unique items, small series, and design objects. The autumn edition on October 18, 2026, will feature over 150 exhibitors from all over Germany and the neighboring Netherlands.

Focus Areas 2026

The autumn market traditionally sets three thematic accents:

• Autumn Decoration — Ceramic pumpkins, light objects, table decorations
• Early Easter and Spring — Collectibles, eggs, preview of Christmas tree decorations
• Floristry and Natural Materials — Dried bouquets, wreaths, Advent materials

Craft Demonstrations

Several exhibitors will be working live at their stands: glassblowers shape vases and drinking vessels over an open flame, chair weavers demonstrate the old technique of basket weaving, and turners transform pieces of wood into bowls and toys. These demonstrations are a hallmark of the market and a popular crowd-puller for families.

Quality Through Selection

The organizer focuses on a curated exhibitor list. Industrially manufactured mass-produced goods are not permitted. Those who sell here produce their items themselves or in small series. This policy explains the regular clientele of collectors, gift seekers, and design enthusiasts who travel from all over Lower Saxony and Westphalia.

Gastronomy

Coffee, cake, hearty snacks, and regional specialties complement the market visit. The open hall architecture allows for breaks while seated, without leaving the market.
