Cultural picnic on the Peace Route

At the "Cultural Picnic on the Peace Route" on Sunday, 18 June 2023, you can experience a special cultural format at the historic Haus Marck in Tecklenburg on the occasion of the 375th anniversary of the Peace of Westphalia! Haus Marck played a key role in the Peace of Westphalia as a place of negotiation. The house is located below the town of Tecklenburg in the immediate vicinity of the Teutoburg Forest along the Peace Route.

The programme:
At the large cultural outdoor picnic in front of a historical backdrop, you can experience a variety of regional artists live during your picnic. The cultural programme includes music, theatre and performances. The event takes place on a large meadow with adjacent moats and a view of the moated castle. The cultural picnic is rounded off with a guided tour of "Haus Marck - behind the scenes" (A) or "Haus Marck and the Peace of Westphalia" (B). You can also book one of the two guided tours (A/B) with your admission ticket to the event.

The picnic:
A table is provided for picnics , inviting you to enjoy a convivial get-together. The setting (tables & benches) for the picnic on the meadow will be provided on site. According to the "bring your own" principle , you are invited to bring your own picnic (drinks and food) to the event. For inspiration, you can find special picnic recipes from the Münsterland region here.
For the sake of sustainability, please consider a zero-waste picnic. In addition, the Inner Wheel Club Tecklenburger Land will organise hot and cold drinks on site. The proceeds will be donated to an organisation in Münsterland for a good cause.
The offer includes: Coffee, tea, sparkling wine, water and spritzers.

Special travel arrangements:
If possible, please cycle in a climate-friendly way. For example, combine your visit to the cultural picnic with a short bike ride along the Peace Route. Use public transport to the venue or walk from the immediate vicinity.

A culture shuttle departs from the cities of Münster and Osnabrück:
Here you have the opportunity to be taken to and from the culture picnic in a relaxed manner by the double-decker "Münsterbus". On board, you can learn about the Peace of Westphalia via a live audio tour. Of course, your picnic basket will also have its place on the bus. The departure points and times are listed below.
