Delmenhorst Markthalle Children's Activity Day

Markthalle as a Family Meeting Point

The Markthalle at Rathausplatz 2 is an important meeting point for families during the Advent season. With the Children's Activity Day, DWFG sets a clear focus: Advent should mean not only consumption but also shared experiences and creative activities.

Christmas-themed Hands-on Activities

The program is broad. Children can fold stars under guidance, craft Advent calendars and Christmas tree ornaments, decorate cookies, design small gifts, and try their hand at craft stations with Christmas motifs. Materials are usually provided by the organizers.

Storytelling and Music

Storytelling sessions with Christmas tales are a regular feature. A musical program with traditional Advent songs, performed by local musicians or school choirs, also creates a festive atmosphere.

Connection to the Christmas Market

The Children's Activity Day is part of the Delmenhorst Christmas Market, which runs from November 24 to December 29, 2026, on Rathausplatz. Families can ideally combine a visit to the Markthalle with a stroll through the Christmas Market and spend a thoroughly enjoyable Advent Saturday in Delmenhorst's city center.

Particularly Suitable for Younger Children

The format is particularly appealing to younger children of preschool and primary school age. With child-friendly stations, a calm atmosphere in the hall (in contrast to the hustle and bustle of the outdoor market), and supervised activities, the Children's Activity Day is an ideal Advent Saturday for families with toddlers.

DWFG as Organizer

DWFG (Delmenhorster Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft) organizes the Children's Activity Day as part of its inner-city revitalization strategy. Free admission – a principle that underscores the accessible, family-friendly approach.
