Märkte und Messen
Advent market
Visitors to the Hofheim Advent market can experience the atmosphere of the pre-Christmas period on the 2nd weekend in Advent. This is when the market takes place against the historic backdrop of the row of towers on Am Untertor square.
Over 60 participants, including schools, clubs, tradespeople and hobby artists, offer an attractive variety of gift ideas, food and drink. There will also be a children's carousel for younger guests. The opening hours are from 12.00 noon to 8.00 p.m. at the latest, on Saturdays until 10.00 p.m. at the latest.
In addition, the "Other Christmas Market", organized by the Hofheimer KulturWerkstatt e. V., takes place on Ludwig-Meidner-Platz on Sundays. Here, social and charitable associations draw attention to themselves and provide visitors with an enjoyable afternoon with lots of goodies and unique items.
If you are arriving in your own vehicle, there are parking spaces available in the Chinon Center multi-storey parking lot, on the station parking deck, Am Ambettbrunnen street, Lorsbacher Straße, behind the town hall or in the Hauptstraße multi-storey parking lot. However, it is recommended that you travel by public transport.
Market traders should only apply with Christmas items. Owners of wooden huts will be given preference. A recent photo of the business is an advantage.
Possession of public liability insurance is a prerequisite. The costs for participation can be requested by telephone - as well as the contact details of Hofheimer Kulturwerkstatt e.V.
Hofheim weekly market
Every Wednesday and Saturday, the Hofheim weekly market with its idyllic flair attracts shoppers to Hofheim's city center.
For many visitors, shopping at the weekly market is a special treat. On the one hand because of the fresh and regional goods on offer and the friendly and personal advice at the market stalls, on the other hand the market is always a meeting place where you can have a chat here and there.
Around 20 stalls offer a high-quality, fresh and varied range of products. Fruit, vegetables, fish, meat and sausage products, cheese and dairy products, poultry, baked goods, delicatessen, fine oils and vinegars, liqueurs, flowers and plants, organic food as well as a coffee bar and a sausage stand are on sale.
These items are complemented by the adjacent seasonal market with seasonal products.
Every Wednesday there are also Portuguese pastries, chips and a roast chicken stall.
On Saturdays, olive oil from our twin town Buccino is also on offer, as well as wine and sparkling wine.
You are welcome to extend your market day with a stroll through the historic old town. There are many smaller retail stores, cozy cafés and restaurants around the market square.
The weekly market is easy to reach by public transport thanks to the adjacent bus stop and the train and bus station within walking distance.
Ample parking is available a 5-minute walk away in the Chinon Center Hofheim, where there are further shopping opportunities. There is a limited number of parking spaces right next to the weekly market in the Am Untertor parking lot.
Would you like to apply for a stand?
All permanent stall spaces on Wednesdays and Saturdays are currently taken.
Do you have seasonal products, e.g. garden plants, or do you offer a complementary range to the existing stalls, e.g. spices? Then you are welcome to apply to us for the seasonal market or for a daily stall.
If you would like to apply for a stall at the weekly market, please fill in the application form and send it to us, stating the goods you have on offer and a photo of your market stall / product range.
We will check all incoming applications and get in touch with you.
