The Christmas market in Recklinghausen is a true winter wonderland. The Altstadtmarkt, a classic Christmas market, enchants you with a large canopy of lights and offers a variety of treats and handicrafts. The Christmas market on Kirchplatz, on the other hand, impresses with its unique nostalgia bar, delicious food and the 'Hütte der guten Taten', which organizes various charity events. A fairytale forest awaits young visitors in Palais Vest, where fairytales are read aloud. There is also a colorful stage program for families and children. The Christmas market in Recklinghausen is an unforgettable experience that will awaken the magic of the Christmas season in you.
