The beer garden under the wooden pagoda in the English Garden turns into a small Christmas market in Advent. In 2026 it runs from 19 November to 23 December, Wednesday to Sunday, and opens every day from 21 to 23 December. Two Eisstock lanes and an old children's carousel sit among the stalls, and the walk there through the English Garden takes up the rest of the afternoon.
