Christmas village in Herne: cookies, kale and Christmas tree throwing!

Herne becomes a Christmas paradise in November: On November 21st and 22nd, 2025, SV Wanne 11 will open its doors to a festive Christmas village. From 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., young and old can look forward to a variety of delicacies and colorful program highlights at the square, Hauptstrasse 397. Admission is free, so everyone can spend a relaxing evening in a contemplative atmosphere.

The event not only brings enjoyment, but also supports a good cause. The sale of cookies and eggnog benefits “Die Arche”, an organization that looks after disadvantaged children. There is no set price for the baked goods; instead, donations are welcome. This is a great opportunity to delight not only your stomach but also your heart.

Festive offer for all senses

The offer leaves nothing to be desired for the whole family. In addition to the sweet temptations, there are also selected savory dishes, such as kale and potato pancakes on Saturday. For those with a sweet tooth, fresh waffles and hearty grilled dishes from the Currykult truck are a must. To round off the culinary delights, both hot and cold drinks are available, so there is something to suit every taste.

A special highlight of the Christmas village is the Christmas tree throwing, which takes place on Friday at 5 p.m. This promises not only fun and excitement, but also a lot of laughter. Who has the best throwing technique? This question will certainly captivate some visitors on Friday.

Community event for everyone

The Christmas Village is a great example of community work and shows how local clubs and organizations can enrich city life. It's the perfect opportunity to meet neighbors, make new acquaintances and ring in the upcoming Christmas in a cheerful mood. And who knows, maybe you'll discover one or two handmade gifts for your loved ones at home!

For anyone who wants to experience the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle in Herne, the visit is definitely worth it. Get ready for an atmospheric celebration where warmth and community are the focus! If you would like to find out more about the event, you can read about it at halloherne.de.
