The superb half-timbered facades around Celle's Christmas
market in the heart of the historical old quarter are
brought to life by Christmas illuminations and a 10 metre
high Christmas tree which shows the way to the Market,
inviting visitors to step in to a magical world of
Christmas.
Under the tree, the manger scene with its 14 cm to 1-meter
high figurines reminds us of the religious origin of this
celebration.
Among the 50 wooden houses gathered at the middle of the old
town of Celle, you’ll find beautiful objects made of glass,
Christmas decorations, toys, candles, various articles made
of wood and ceramic and many other gift ideas, or perhaps
something to bring the feeling of Christmas into your home.
The pleasant smell of almond, of delicious warm wine, of
savourous fresh baked patisseries among other delicacies and
sweet things saturate and float through the air at the
Christmas market.
For the children, the magic of the market doesn’t stop
there. A carousel and further attractions offered by the
“Cellie Kinderclub”, allow our young visitors to play and
create crafts, such as mobiles. Of course, all these
activities take place in a safe environment supervised by
professionals.
They’ll then have the joy of bringing “their creations”
home.
On the 6th of December, Santa Klaus doesn’t forget to fulfil
his tasks as he strolls through the streets, his hands full
of presents to distribute among the children.
A nearly 5-meter high Christmas pyramid shows you the
biblical figures associated with Christmas.
A special program with many events related to Christmas is
offered while the market takes place and contributes to
making the atmosphere even more cheerful.
During the week ends you may enjoy open air concerts at the
marketplace, or perhaps a choral and organ concert in the
church adjacent to the market.
All these magical events invite you to stay and make your
travel to another world a true wonderland. |
