Arts and Crafts Market Mühlenmuseum (May)

Spring Edition with Mother's Day Connection

While the September market is oriented towards autumn, the May market has a clear spring-festive character. The Mother's Day weekend brings additional visitors: families come for a joint outing, the market offers numerous gift ideas, from plants to jewelry, ceramics, and cosmetic products from small manufacturers. The culinary aspect is also aligned with the spring theme: asparagus, strawberries, young vegetables, and fresh juices are part of the seasonal offerings.

Exhibitor Profile

The selection of exhibitors follows a clear qualitative standard. Pottery, woodwork, jewelry, glass art, textiles, leather, felt, stone and metal work, as well as wood carving are among the classic categories. In addition, there are direct marketers from the region offering honey, jams, herbs, plants, cosmetics, and culinary specialties. A conscious limitation to high-quality craft and direct marketer products gives the market its profile.

The Mühlenmuseum as a Backdrop

The International Mühlenmuseum Gifhorn, located on extensive park grounds, is not just an exhibition venue but an integral part of the market experience. Market stalls are spread out among mills from the Netherlands, Russia, Greece, Portugal, and Korea, between farm buildings, workshops, and the wooden church. Mill demonstrations, the bread house with freshly baked bread, and the museum gastronomy complement the offerings.

Family Offers

The market is designed as a family event. Play areas for children, hands-on workshops, demonstrations, and the spacious, child-friendly grounds make visiting the market a day trip for the whole family.
