Funfair with a Saint's Connection

The Bennokirmes Bad Iburg is a folk festival with a long tradition. It is named after Saint Benno of Osnabrück, the former bishop of the Diocese of Osnabrück, to whom Bad Iburg has been historically closely linked. For centuries, Bad Iburg Castle was the residence of the Osnabrück bishops. The annual funfair keeps this church-historical connection alive as a popular festival.

Kneipp Experience Park as the Location

Bad Iburg is a recognized Kneipp spa town, and the Kneipp experience park is one of the central excursion destinations in the spa town. For the funfair days, rides, stalls, and snack bars are set up on the spacious grounds. The combination of spa town atmosphere and funfair hustle and bustle is typical for the Bennokirmes.

Around 45 Showmen

The funfair's offerings include:

  • Bumper cars — a classic for all generations
  • Tapis volant (Flying Carpet) — a gentle family ride
  • Children's carousels — for the little ones
  • Throwing and shooting stalls
  • Candy stands — candy apples, roasted almonds, cotton candy
  • Snack stands — Bratwurst, fries, crêpes
  • Drink stands and festival tent
