Christmas Market 2022
Mulled wine, roasted almonds and handmade goods: The Bocholt Christmas market is open until 21 December.
Christmas atmosphere in the city centre
On Friday, 25 November at 5 p.m., Mayor Thomas Kerkhoff, Wine Queen Laura I and Ludger Dieckhues from City Marketing officially opened the market. Until 21 December, visitors will be put into a pre-Christmas mood by craft, artistic and culinary offerings in the Christmas market huts and advent music.
Uniform and attractive huts will be used again this year. In addition, professional Christmas market vendors will set up the mulled wine and fire punch huts specially designed for the Bocholt Christmas Market. Of course, there will also be many attractive stalls at the Christmas market with handicraft items such as pictures, jewellery, wooden articles from the Erzgebirge, Christmas gifts and much more. "Together with a number of local suppliers, we have once again put together quite a few things," explains Markus Kock, who is organising the Christmas market again this year together with managing director Ludger Dieckhues and city marketing employee Tim Becker.
Together with a number of local exhibitors, we have once again put a lot together.
