About Escher Weihnachtsmarkt

The small Escher Weihnachtsmarkt is a charming Advent event at the Escher Hof, Hauptstraße 2 in Esche. Traditionally on the 1st Advent weekend, the courtyard is transformed into a small market with mulled wine, coffee, waffles, and cake, organized by SV Esche. The highlight is the St. Nicholas procession starting at 2:30 PM, which shapes the Advent atmosphere in the village and is a particular attraction for families with children. A shuttle bus connects the Escher market with the simultaneously held Christmas markets in Lage and Neuenhaus, allowing visitors to experience a dense market landscape in the Niedergrafschaft Bentheim on the 1st Advent weekend.

Esche in the Niedergrafschaft
