WAT-kreativ Creative Market Wattenscheid

The 47th WAT-kreativ Creative Market 2025 took place in March at the Alte Lohnhalle in the Wattenscheid Technology and Start-up Centre. Organizer: Stadtmarketing Wattenscheid. In 2025, around 70 exhibitors gathered with arts and crafts, jewelry, textiles, and creative products — alongside several workshops for children and adults, from felting and candle making to ceramic painting. With admission under €5 and free entry for children under 12, the fair remains an accessible event connecting Wattenscheid and Bochum's creative scene — a tradition that has grown since the late 1970s.
