Bochum – Historic fair 2027
What to expect
Historischer Jahrmarkt Bochum 2027 will take place again at the beginning of 2027, according to Jahrhunderthalle. The anticipated period is from 13 to 28 February 2027. The organiser has not yet confirmed these exact dates; they come from an events calendar and may still change.
Historischer Jahrmarkt Bochum 2027 at the Jahrhunderthalle
Historischer Jahrmarkt transforms the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum into a world of classic showmanship. The large industrial hall provides an unusual setting for nostalgic rides, fairground music and historical attractions. Unlike a modern funfair, the focus here is above all on the experience of bygone decades. This makes the event suitable for families as well as people who are interested in the history of funfairs.
Old carousels and authentic fairground history
The official event website lists, among other things, a caterpillar ride from 1926, a historic Ferris wheel and a painted horse carousel from 1885. A hall of mirrors and a scenic railway from the 1930s are also part of the concept described. The rides are presented by members of the Historische Gesellschaft Deutscher Schausteller. The specific rides that will be set up for the 2027 edition have not yet been officially announced. This description is therefore an overview of the recurring event concept, not a confirmed line-up of rides for 2027.
Historischer Jahrmarkt Bochum 2027: Steampunk and nostalgia
Previous editions have featured special themed events such as a Steampunk weekend and “Rock’n’Roll anne Raupe”. Steampunk brings together Victorian clothing, imaginative technology and a historical fairground atmosphere. Rock’n’Roll brings music and fashion from the 1950s to the hall. Whether and when these programme items will take place in 2027 has yet to be announced. They are therefore not listed here as confirmed dates.
Opening days and admission prices
In recent years, the fair has been held over several weekends. A confirmed opening schedule for 2027 is not currently available. Admission is also charged; according to the official description, rides are included in the ticket price. Specific ticket prices for 2027 have not yet been published. Only finalise your visit once the Jahrhunderthalle has confirmed its current opening days and admission terms.
