Info & opening hours

From 28 November to 22 December , Bocholt's festive Christmas market will shine in front of the historic town hall, inviting visitors of all ages to enjoy the merry pre-Christmas season. The festive opening will take place on 28 November at 5 pm in front of the historic town hall.

The Bocholt Christmas Market is open daily between 12 noon and 8 pm , with some of the food and drink stalls staying open even longer.

At the mulled wine stands run by Kevin Traber, August Schneider and Menzi Fischer, you can warm up with a fragrant mulled wine or other delicacies and enjoy the wintry atmosphere to the full. But the other Christmas market participants also contribute to making the Bocholt Christmas market a cosy meeting place for families and friends with their festively decorated huts and handmade gifts, delicious treats or festive decorations.
