Open Advent at the House of Family Bonn
When the Advent season begins, the House of Family in Bonn opens its doors for an afternoon full of reflection, encounters, and shared anticipation for Christmas. The Open Advent combines religious tradition, creative activities, and lived spiritual community into an inviting faith experience for people of all ages.
Advent atmosphere for the whole family
The festively decorated house and garden create a warm, contemplative atmosphere. Amidst lights, Christmas decorations, and familiar Advent impressions, space is created for tranquility, exchange, and a religious experience in community. The Advent season as a time of expectation and hope is made tangible here in a practical and heartfelt way.
Creativity, crafts, and Christmas gifts
In the crafting workshops, personal Christmas gifts are created. The shared crafting brings generations together and makes the pre-Christmas season immediately tangible. Creativity, charity, and community shape this special afternoon at the House of Family.
Market, ceramics, and the Little Shop
The community libraries and a ceramics stand invite browsing at the Advent market. For the youngest guests, the Little Shop offers a special attraction. Families discover small treasures here, meet one another, and experience the Advent tradition of the House of Family in a lively way.
Tales, waffles, and shared experiences
A storyteller takes children and adults into the world of winter stories. Fresh waffles in the café provide a delightful break. Thus, the Open Advent connects a spiritual atmosphere, cultural impulses, and shared experiences without the need for prior registration.

The Open Advent is organized by the HDF team and invites church members, families, and all interested individuals. The event takes place on Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. No registration is required.
