Stalls feature hands-on maker activities like crafting kaleidoscopes and creating glowing PLA bottle openers, alongside games, glitter tattoos, and seasonal refreshments such as mulled wine, kale, waffles, and currywurst.

Tips & Advice

  • Bring a warm layer for time in the courtyard, especially if you plan to stay outside for after-dark telescope viewing.

  • Families with children aged eight or older can attend Saturday’s winter lecture, which starts at 16:00 in room D250.
  • From Münster, take the regional train toward Gronau or Enschede to Steinfurt-Burgsteinfurt station, then allow time for onward travel to campus.
