Christmas magic 2024

Apply now as an exhibitor!

Become an exhibitor!

This winter, our Christmas magic will once again take place at Burg Bentheim! Last year, we welcomed over 25,000 visitors to our first Christmas market at the castle over three weekends, which is why we are delighted that a Christmas market can be held at the castle again this year.

Preparations are already in full swing: we are now looking for exhibitors who will inspire visitors with their individual offerings and contribute to the unique, fairytale atmosphere at the castle.

The prerequisite for participation is a handmade product range and a high-quality presentation on the stand. If you are interested in a stand, you will find below our application form. All applications received will be carefully reviewed. Important for us are meaningful photos of your products and, if available, the presentation of your products.

We look forward to seeing you and to our Christmas magic at Burg Bentheim!

Requirements for a successful application and criteria for acceptance or rejection can be found further down on this page.
As an exhibitor, you do not need a trade license – you can also apply for a stand space as a private individual.

The assortment can be set up from the Monday before the start of the weekend.
The huts are provided and do not have to be brought or set up yourself. Modifications to the huts, e.g. an open front, are unfortunately not possible. The huts may be individually decorated.

The Christmas market begins on the Friday before the 1st-4th Advent 2024. The products on offer can remain in the huts during the rental period and do not have to be removed or put away – the huts and the castle are locked in the evening.

Acceptance or rejection

The acceptance of your application depends on various factors.
The following criteria are decisive in the selection process:

Is your offer individual and original?

We are looking for exhibitors who offer handmade, unique products. The more original the offer, the higher the probability that the segment is not yet available at the Christmas market and that your application will be successful.

Is the presentation of the offer creative and of high quality?

In order to create an atmospheric Christmas market, a high-quality presentation of the products is essential. The huts provided should only be decorated with natural materials and warm light.

EXHIBITOR

The centerpiece is the castle courtyard, where exhibitors can delight guests with their offerings.
Culinary delicacies, handicrafts and handmade items are offered at high-quality stands.

ATMOSPHERE

Atmospheric music and a lighting concept will create a Christmassy flair at the castle. The trees will be hung with fairy lights and there will be a nostalgic carousel in front of the Kronenburg.

OFFER

Visitors can be enchanted by the various stands on the grounds or explore the interior of Bentheim Castle. There are also activities for our younger visitors to play and do handicrafts.
