Events in Telgte

When 50 passionate singers take to the stage and captivate the audience with the power of their voices, it means it’s that time of year again: the Popchor Münster is performing. Since 2010, this a cappella choir, conducted by Andreas Warschkow, has been performing covers of contemporary and classic pop and rock songs.

Following their 2013 performance, the XL vocal ensemble is making its second guest appearance at the Telgte Community Centre with their current show, “We love to sing!”. Songs by Fleetwood Mac, Ed Sheeran, Genesis, Lionel Richie, Metallica, Jan Delay, Bon Jovi, George Michael, Maroon 5 and others.

Sit together in a cosy atmosphere, talk, listen to Christmas carols, sing along and get in the mood for the coming Advent season: All this is possible at the cosy mulled wine picnic on 27 November.

Everyone can bring their own biscuits or drinks. Waffles and mulled wine (with and without alcohol) will be on offer.

"We hope that Telgte residents will take a little time out at our mulled wine picnic, chat to each other and look forward to the Christmas season together," says Annika Becker, Head of Tourism + Culture.

There will be around 30 huts and stalls on the market square.

As in previous years, the Clemens Church will provide a quiet counterpoint to the hustle and bustle between the huts and stalls. There will once again be a range of contemplative offerings for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle for a while and find some peace and quiet. And those who want to use the Christmas market weekend for shopping will not only have the opportunity to do so on Friday and Saturday in the shops in the city centre, because on 13 December from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. the shops will be open on Sunday.

24 December, mid-morning on the Eurobahn from Osnabrück to Münster. On board are a stressed lawyer who has to buy his wife an expensive present from the high-end jeweller Rüschenbeck, a nurse full of anticipation for her blind date with a stranger, a shy student who wants to bring his grandma a Christmas tree to her small flat, a sad conductor, who volunteers to work because it's his first Christmas without his deceased wife, a cheerful Christmas lover who wants to meet up with her friends for an Aperol Spritz at Lake Aa, as she does every year, and Father Christmas, who is on his way to a decadent Christmas party at Prinzipalmarkt.

But nobody will get to their destination. The train stops in the middle of the track - a snowstorm prevents the journey from continuing. For better or worse, the passengers have to wait indefinitely. Inevitably, they start talking to each other - and their stories slowly begin to change. The audience sits on the stranded train, sings "O du fröhliche" and experiences one happy ending after another during the improvised Christmas party.

The Westbeverner ThekenTheater brings a very special Christmas party to the stage with this romantic comedy written by Katrin Jäger. The director is Jörg Kracht. He says: "Laughing and singing along are expressly encouraged!"
