Tips & Advice

  • Visit the craft market in the church first, because it closes earlier in the evening than the outdoor Christmas market.
  • Dress warmly for an evening outdoors, and warm up at the many fires spread around the decorated streets and squares.
  • Bring your Christmas shopping list, because the stalls and the artisans' craft market are a good place to find original, handmade gifts.
  • Stallholders should read the stall rules before signing up, and note that electricity is now included in the all-in pitch price.

Special Events & Promotions

  • The local artisans’ craft market returns inside Oedelem church this season and is open from 17:00 to 22:30.
