Winter fun in all 4 districts
In Beckum, the Christmas markets in all four districts invite you to enjoy the winter.
In Roland, the pre-Christmas season is ushered in - here the association of the civic centre always invites visitors to an atmospheric stroll and experience on the Saturday before the 1st of Advent. A Christmas programme on the stage and the festive atmosphere of the hut village sweeten the wait for St. Nicholas, who has announced his arrival for the event.
The following weekend, the Christmas market begins on Beckum's market square. Huts and stalls decorated in a wintry style create a Christmas atmosphere in the parlour and there are all kinds of gift ideas and delicacies to discover. Every evening, visitors can enjoy mulled wine accompanied by live music.
This is followed by the Christmas market on the square in front of the town hall in Neubeckum. The contemplative atmosphere in the hut village, an atmospheric programme on and in front of the stage, as well as warm drinks and various treats sweeten the pre-Christmas season.
Shortly before the holidays, the Christmas hut village in Vellern will open its doors. Here, too, the wait for the Christ Child is shortened with a Christmas stage programme, gift ideas and treats.
