Medieval Advent Market Hittfeld

Medieval Magic for the First Advent

The combination of the Middle Ages and Advent is a trend that has been established in many German cities and towns for several years. The Hittfeld market utilizes the Advent atmosphere and combines it with the specific aesthetics of medieval markets — wooden stalls, campfires, historical costumes, soundscapes, and the typical food and drinks of that era. This creates an atmosphere that offers a conscious alternative in a time full of consumer stress.

Schützenverein Hittfeld as Host

The grounds of the Schützenverein Hittfeld at Meyermannsweg 1 provide the spatial requirements for a medieval market. The marquee, outdoor areas, and the clubhouse can be used for market stalls, campfires, and catering. The cooperation between the Schützenverein as the location provider and the medieval market as an event format shows how traditional clubs can open their spaces to new formats.

Das nordische Marktvolk UG

Das nordische Marktvolk UG specializes in organizing medieval markets and tours through Northern Germany with experienced traders, artisans, and show acts. The UG ensures the historical credibility of the event, checks exhibitors for authenticity, and curates the artistic supporting program with musicians, jugglers, and fire shows.

Market Offerings and Culinary Delights

The market stalls offer medieval-inspired handicrafts: leather goods, jewelry, ceramics, wood and horn crafts, textiles, mead mugs, drinking horns, and Advent decorations. The culinary offerings focus on what appears historically credible: suckling pig on a spit, garlic bread, stick bread, stews, mead, punch, mulled wine, beer in clay mugs, baked sweets, and honey wine.

Family Program and Free Admission

Despite its medieval focus, the market is designed to be family-friendly. Medieval children's games, craft stations, storytelling sessions, and occasional performances for children complement the program. Free admission makes the market accessible to all visitors and distinguishes it from commercial medieval events.
