Open-air stage with a long tradition

The open-air stage Werne has existed since 1959 and is thus a firm institution in the cultural landscape of the city. Especially today, in our digitalised times, the open-air stage Werne offers handmade entertainment for the whole family. From children's plays to musicals that invite you to sing along to live concerts and even comedy shows, there is something for everyone.

But when the cold season begins, it's far from a break here. On the first weekend in Advent, the annual Advent market of the open-air stage traditionally opens. Then the clubhouse is transformed into a café and there is a large tent on the stage that invites you to linger. All this is accompanied by a colourful supporting programme. The mixture of handicrafts, Christmas gifts and loving decorations enjoys great popularity across the generations.
