Tips & Advice

  • Allow extra time or get in touch beforehand if you want a longer inscription or a special request, especially when the manufactory is busy.
  • Register early for the November 20 or 21 Christmas candle workshop, since registration is required and the number of places is limited.
  • Come to the special Saturday opening on December 12 if the regular Tuesday-to-Thursday afternoon hours don't fit your week.
  • Visit the manufactory in the Blaufärbergasse rather than the outside markets for the largest selection and the most personalization options.
  • Have the names, dates or greetings ready before you arrive, as many candles can be lettered in raised wax and taken home the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a traditional market with stalls?

No. It's a large Christmas candle exhibition set up inside the LH-Kerzenmanufaktur. You can browse at your own pace, compare candles and get advice.

Can I have a candle personalized?

Yes. Many candles can be lettered on site with a name, date or short greeting in raised wax letters, and many can be taken home right away. For longer texts or special requests, or when it's busy, allow extra time or get in touch beforehand.

Can I decorate my own Christmas candle?

Yes. Christmas candle decorating workshops run on November 20 and 21, where you decorate a candle with real wax ornaments under guidance. Registration is required because places are limited. Individual workshops can also be arranged.

Are there candles for other occasions too?

Yes. Alongside Christmas and Advent candles, there are baptism, wedding, memorial and birthday candles, plus candle holders and accessories. Many visitors use the trip to choose or pre-order candles for special occasions.

What if I can't make it to the manufactory?

You'll find the LH-Kerzenmanufaktur stand at the Seppenrade Christmas market, the Lüdinghausen Adventsmarkt and the Adventlicher Kreativmarkt in Bad Sassendorf. The biggest selection and the most personalization options are at the manufactory itself.
