Christmas Market 2025

29 – 30 November / 10 – 16

Christmas starts with the year's coziest Christmas market for the whole family at Det Grønne Museum, Gl. Estrup. Here, a sea of cozy stalls awaits, Christmas scents from bakers and butchers, Christmas music that sets the perfect soundscape and much more.

You can experience that.

You can experience this at the Christmas market in East Jutland.

Experience the Christmas spirit spreading at the Green Museum's traditional Christmas market on the first weekend of Advent! The museum is transformed into a true Christmas paradise, where more than 60 stalls filled with handicrafts, woolen goods, ceramics, wooden goods and lots of Christmas treats await you. From freshly baked Christmas bread and the scent of fir to warm Christmas decorations and sweets, there is something for everyone who loves the special atmosphere of Christmas.

The museum's volunteers will be on hand at their own stalls, showcasing old crafts and giving samples of historic Christmas recipes. You can also take an atmospheric tour through the Christmas exhibition Alletiders Jul, which unfolds the history of Christmas through 300 years. The tour takes place both indoors and outdoors, and along the way you will meet the animals in the stable and see the winter garden, where the cabbage is ready with its winter vitamins for the dark time.

Christmas photos and children's activities

As something very special, you can once again take your own Christmas photo at our beautifully constructed photo backdrops. With Christmas decorations, fir trees and lights, the perfect frame is created for a memorable Christmas greeting to family and friends - and maybe this year's Christmas card?

There is also extra Christmas fun for the youngest! On Saturday, children and childlike souls can try their hand at the cream puff workshop and decorate their own cream puff. On Sunday, we welcome you to a cozy Christmas cut-and-paste workshop, where everyone can help create their own Christmas decorations. On both days, you can also participate in the gingerbread workshop.

With Christmas music and the opportunity to take a ride in the cozy Futte train or a horse-drawn carriage ride in the winter weather, the Green Museum's Christmas market is an experience for the whole family. Please note that both the Futte train, the horse-drawn carriage ride, the gingerbread workshop and the cream puff workshop require a small fee.
Mark your calendar and come and experience the coziest Christmas market of the year on November 29 and 30!

Experience the Christmas story “Christmas in the countryside”, where we tell about both the well-known and lesser-known traditions from Christmas in the countryside in recent centuries.

Discretion Christmas music Together with the scent of Christmas baking and fir, it creates a festive setting and ensures that the Christmas spirit appears in both adults and children.

The tractor workshop is open. The tractor workshop is always full of life, sound and partially assembled machines and engines, and the volunteers are ready to answer questions, explain what they do and tell stories from a long working life with large machines – for example as blacksmiths.

The Green Museum's tour hosts are ready to answer questions, explain about the machines and tell stories from their own lives with the big machines, for example as farmers.

The forge is staffed both days for the Christmas market, and various items will be forged such as Iron Age knives, beer irons, hooks, small horseshoes, candlesticks and house numbers. There will of course also be time for a chat with the guests.

It is offered a ride in a horse-drawn carriage in the hopefully beautiful winter weather outside for a small co-payment.
