Less well-known but just as exciting is the artisan Advent market, which took place on November 29th and 30th and delighted visitors with unique creations made of textiles, stone, wood and concrete on Linggplatz. The offer is rounded off by changing product stands, which give the market a lively touch. Bad Hersfeld Tourism states that children are also well entertained.
A place for artisans
The Advent market is an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs and creative minds to present their products. Market traders and artisans are warmly invited to register for the exchange huts, which are available to clubs, schools and individual providers. This offers a flexible opportunity to show off your craft – be it for one day or for the entire duration of the market. The sale of Christmas gifts and handmade products is expressly desired, although mulled wine and grilled food may not be offered. Registration for the hut can be made easily by email or by post to the city marketing department. Questions? The team can be reached on 06621-201431.
