On December 6 and 7, 2025, the former gym of the Alte Schule St. Pauli will transform into a weekend stage for independent creative culture. “A Cozy Mess – Advent Market for Food, Drinks, Art, Music, Design & Craft” brings together designers, makers, and artists showcasing work as diverse as St. Pauli itself: handmade, unconventional, warm-hearted, and full of character.
Location: Gym of the Alte Schule St. Pauli, Seilerstr. 41–43, Hamburg
Time: Saturday, Dec 6, 2025 — 2:00–8:00 pm
Sunday, Dec 7, 2025 — 12:00–6:00 pm
Admission: free
Supported by: Kreativ Gesellschaft Hamburg, Playground Coffee, Joschi Pizza Bistro, Weinladen St. Pauli

Instead of a classic sales fair, visitors can expect a relaxed and inspiring afternoon: browsing, discovering, chatting — and snacking. There will be mulled wine, excellent coffee, delicious pizza, and the easygoing atmosphere of a creative get-together. Exhibitors present selected works across illustration, fashion, graphic design, ceramics, jewelry, and more. The market brings creative minds together in one place — accessible, informal, and up close.
A special highlight comes from Weinladen St. Pauli:
A limited charity bundle featuring
• one bottle of “Quai Limited” organic Riesling, and
• a signed, numbered, and framed art print by artist Moritz Green,
will be available exclusively on site. All proceeds go to a charitable project.
The historic school building — currently evolving into a new creative hub for the neighborhood — provides the perfect backdrop: a place in transition where ideas can grow, and where an ordinary afternoon quickly becomes a small highlight.
