• Do I have to pay to get in?

  No, entry is free. Some activities cost a little, for example the children’s carousel, candle dipping and the raffle (Tombola).

• When is the market open?

  Saturday 12 December 2026, 12 noon–11 pm: stalls until 9 pm, food and bars until 11 pm. Sunday 13 December 2026, 11 am–7 pm.

• How do I get there by public transport?

  Take the S15 to Dielsdorf station, then walk for about 5 minutes. Buses 456 and 535 stop at «Dielsdorf, Dorfzentrum», 2 minutes from the market. A new timetable starts on Sunday 13 December, so please check your connection with SBB or ZVV before you travel.

• Where can I park?

  At Parkplatz Chromos, Niederhaslistrasse 12, in the business park. Follow the signs; traffic marshals will direct you. From there it is about a 10-minute walk to the market.

• Can I come with a pushchair or a wheelchair?

  Yes. The site is easily accessible with pushchairs and wheelchairs, although there may be the occasional cable cover on the ground. There is a wheelchair-accessible toilet in the OK office (organising committee) in the Früeblihalle. The Früeblihalle gets crowded, so please leave pushchairs in the pushchair park in front of the hall.

• Where are the toilets?

  In the school building next to the Früeblihalle, reached by stairs. A wheelchair-accessible toilet is in the OK office (organising committee) in the Früeblihalle. The site map shows them under «Infopunkte» (info points).

• Where can I warm up?

  In the Früeblihalle there are stalls, seating and the stage; candle dipping is inside the school building, and BLEU DU MONDE serves coffee and hosts concerts. Outside, fire pits on the Festplatz (Oberstufenplatz) keep you warm.

• Where can I get help or first aid?

  Info points are on Früeblistrasse, at the primary school, on the Oberstufenplatz and in the Früeblihalle, as is the OK office (the organising committee). First aid is provided by the Samariterverein Dielsdorf-Regensberg in the entrance area of the school library. In an emergency, call 144.

• Who are Samichlaus and Schmutzli?

  Samichlaus is the Swiss St. Nicholas. With his companion Schmutzli he walks through the market on Saturday and Sunday, 2–4 pm. Children who know a little poem («Versli») are rewarded.

• What are the Gwerbler-Stunden?

  «Gwerbler» is Swiss German for local tradespeople. During the Gwerbler-Stunden (Saturday 12 noon–9 pm, Sunday 11 am–7 pm) the shops in the village stay open longer and also open on Sunday, so the whole village becomes part of the Christmas market. Some shops have their own opening hours.

• Where can I get mulled wine?

  On the market grounds, mulled wine (Glühwein) is sold only by the local clubs this year: five stalls serve it. They are listed in the food section of this page; on the site map, search for «Glühwein».
