Werne – Sim-Jü 2027

Sim-Jü 2027 in Werne is expected to take place from Saturday, 23 October, to Tuesday, 26 October 2027. The dates follow the usual four-day event pattern and have already been announced for this edition; however, the town of Werne has not yet issued its own official confirmation. If you would like to visit one of the region's best-known town-centre funfairs, you can make a note of this weekend for now.

Sim-Jü 2027: Four days of funfair in Werne

Sim-Jü turns the centre of Werne into an extensive funfair. Between the market square and the surrounding streets, you can usually find modern large rides, traditional carousels, attractions for children and numerous food stalls. The event is also a regular fixture in the annual calendar for many families. Its location right in the town creates a special atmosphere: you can stroll around, grab a bite at the food stalls and explore the different areas on foot.

More than 660 years of history

The town of Werne describes Sim-Jü as a traditional fair with roots dating back to 1362. Its name comes from the Simon-Juda market and recalls a long market tradition. At the same time, the event has changed considerably over the centuries. Today, rides, lights and music set the scene. This blend of tradition and contemporary funfair entertainment is what makes the event appealing to visitors from Werne and the surrounding area.

Sim-Jü 2027: Programme and highlights

In edition 2026, the programme included, among other things, the opening, a Sunday when shops were open, a fireworks display on Monday and the traditional market stalls on Tuesday. The final day was also announced as Family Tuesday, with discount offers. These details reflect the typical character of the fair, but are not confirmed for 2027. Therefore, the structured programme calendar does not initially include any unverified new dates. Once the town publishes the programme, it can be added there as appropriate.

Opening hours, admission and rides

No confirmed daily schedule for the funfair rides is available for 2027 yet. Therefore, no estimated operating times are shown at present. The public streets of the fairground are freely accessible according to past practice, while rides, games and food and drink are chargeable. No named list of showmen for October 2027 is available yet either. This makes it clear which information has actually been confirmed.

Getting there and official information

The funfair is centred on Werne town centre. Traffic routes and parking arrangements may change during the event weekend. So before travelling, check the town's latest information on buses, trains and access routes. You can find the latest updates on the official Sim-Jü page of the Town of Werne.
