Advent Market Directly on the Quendorfer See
Few Christmas markets in the region can boast such a poetic backdrop: The Else-am-See-Christmas Market is located directly on the banks of the Quendorfer See in Schüttorf. Lighting on the water, reflecting lights, and the tranquility of the location make the market a special Advent experience.
Arts and Crafts and Gift Ideas
The market focuses on arts and crafts and original gift ideas. Exhibitors from the region offer jewelry, ceramics, textiles, woodwork, and other crafts that are valued more highly for gifting than mass-produced items from large Christmas chains.
Culinary Delights and Mulled Wine
Mulled wine, cocoa, hot punches, bratwurst, crêpes, and Advent pastries accompany the market visit. The catering follows established Advent traditions.
Children's Activity on Sunday
A special feature is the free children's activity on Sunday from 2 PM to 5 PM: Cookie decorating for the youngest visitors creates market moments that families will fondly remember.
Admission Model
The Else-am-See-Christmas Market charges an entrance fee of €7 per person. Children under 10 are free. This model enables a high-quality curation and lighting concept and distinguishes the market from many free Advent markets in the region.
