About the market

LEER – Historic old town and its "Wiehnachtsmarkt achter d'Waag" Traditionally, this beautiful Wiehnachtsmarkt takes place on the four Sundays of Advent. The market is open from 14:00 to 19:00 and stretches from the Museumhafen to the Garrelscher Garten. With great attention to detail, the volunteer members have built 23 small huts modelled on the gables of the old town. Tiffany work made by hand, embroidered items, felted items, recycled jewellery, sweets and so much more can be marvelled at here. Here people come together, away from the bustle, the shopping hustle and the stress, to open themselves to what Christmas is really about: singing together with the Christmas choirs, anticipation and family togetherness. Food and drink are also taken care of, with Rullerkes, baked apples, Christmas biscuits, poffertjes, waffles from the scouts, Speckendicken, Glühwein, Feuerzangenbowle, punch and much more.
