Sensory magic – FEZ family time during Advent

Christmas weekends for the whole family on the Advent weekends in December

At FEZ Berlin, the pre-Christmas period becomes a sensory experience for the whole family. On the four Advent weekends, the leisure and recreation centre is transformed into a festively decorated winter wonderland where guests of all ages can immerse themselves in the magic of Christmas with all their senses. The focus here is on creativity, sustainability and shared experiences.

Europe's largest non-profit children's, youth and family centre (FEZ) is once again inviting children to a creative and varied Christmas market on all four Advent weekends this year.

Christmas crafts, baking and amazement

The "Sinneszauber" at the FEZ is aimed at families with children aged 2 to 12 and offers a colourful programme with plenty of room for imagination and hands-on activities. Children can do crafts to their heart's content, create with upcycling materials or write wish lists. They can bake biscuits in the fragrant Christmas bakery and create festive gifts and decorations in the ceramics and nature workshop.

An atmospheric stage programme, a cosy reading corner, board games and face painting make the market a real highlight for families with children - especially if you want to create something special together and discover sustainable materials in the process.

The Christmas market at the FEZ is ideal for families with young children who want to spend the pre-Christmas period in a creative and relaxed way. It's not about consumption, but about doing, crafting, baking and marvelling together - fairytale-like, child-friendly and full of heart.
