Wintergarten St. Pauli 2026: curling lanes and programme

Wintergarten St. Pauli 2026 brings a wintry atmosphere to the area in front of Rindermarkthalle in Hamburg from 11 November to 23 December. The organiser has announced seven Bavarian curling lanes, Scandinavian-style huts and a changing programme of activities. If you’re planning a sociable evening with friends or colleagues, it’s worth checking the programme and the different opening times.

Wintergarten St. Pauli 2026: Seven Bavarian curling lanes in the spotlight

The main attraction is seven outdoor Bavarian curling lanes. You can arrange to meet your group there for a shared activity. The organiser specifically mentions that you can book a lane in advance. A reservation may be useful, especially for a Christmas party or an outing with a group. The lanes are not simply decorative features in the square; they are an important part of the winter programme.

Winter huts, food and cosy evenings

Scandinavian-inspired Christmas huts and lights are intended to create a wintry atmosphere in front of Rindermarkthalle. The announcement also mentions mulled wine, grilled food and crêpes. There are also open fires where you can warm up during your visit. Wintergarten is therefore more about spending time together than the typical attractions of a large fair. It’s just as appealing for a short visit after work as for a longer evening with friends.

Wintergarten St. Pauli 2026: DJ sets and bingo announced

Rindermarkthalle also promises a changing programme of activities beyond the Bavarian curling lanes. DJ sets and bingo are specifically mentioned. However, the published announcement does not yet give specific dates or times for these events. You should therefore check with the organiser for details of specific activities before your visit. We do not list these programme items as daily events.

Opening times and closure on Totensonntag

Wintergarten is open from 11 November to 23 December 2026. You can visit from 15 to 21 on Mondays to Fridays, from 12 to 21 on Saturdays and from 15 to 20 on Sundays. There is one important exception on Sunday, 22 November: the event is closed on Totensonntag. So if you’re planning a weekend visit, be sure to bear this day off in mind. The information comes from Rindermarkthalle’s latest announcement.
