And to finish off, Halle 622 in is the host venue for the Heilige Bimbam Christmas market which boasts of being a creative and alternative market. As usual there will be lots of things to buy, drinks and live music but one thing that really caught my eye was the clothing collection for the refugees on the Greek island of Lesbos. Please give generously. 

Thurs 19th - Sun 22nd, Halle 622, Therese-Giehse-Strasse 10, 8050
