23rd Celler Handgemacht-Markt 2026

23 Years of Handgemacht-Markt — An Established Brand

With its 23rd edition, the Celler Handgemacht-Markt has become one of the most important destinations for arts and crafts and design in northern Lower Saxony. The mix of classic craftsmanship, modern design, and unique curiosities makes the market a must-attend event for art lovers, design enthusiasts, and anyone looking for handmade gifts and home accessories.

CD-Kaserne — Cultural Center in the Former Barracks

The CD-Kaserne at Hannoversche Straße 18 is one of the most unusual and versatile event centers in the region. Concerts, trade fairs, markets, parties, conferences, and theater performances are held in the former barracks buildings. The industrial charm of the historic architecture provides the perfect setting for a craft market — spaces with atmosphere, ample room for stalls, good ventilation, and excellent acoustics.

What the Exhibitors Offer

At the 2026 market, exhibitors from all over northern Germany will be present — many from the Celle, Hanover, Hamburg, and Lüneburger Heide regions. The spectrum includes:

• Jewelry — from minimalist silver designs to opulent gold work
• Textiles — woven, felted, sewn, knitted
• Ceramics and Porcelain — functional items and art objects
• Wood and Woodturning
• Leather, Glass, Metal
• Paper, Books, Illustration
• Curiosities: Unique pieces, vintage-inspired objects, individual designs

Gifts and Inspiration in Mid-Spring

The March weekend is well-chosen: after the winter months, the market offers an inspiring opportunity to find creative gifts for spring family celebrations (birthdays, Easter) — or simply to discover handmade beauty. Two full days of visiting time allow for leisurely browsing, conversations with the artists, and relaxed breaks with coffee or cake.
