Sunday shopping in Werne: Martinsmarkt attracts shoppers!

Today, November 9th, 2025, people in Werne, North Rhine-Westphalia, are heading to the popular St. Martin's Market on Sunday shopping. This event, which brings together retailers and customers, allows shop owners to open for good business on a Sunday. Despite the cooler temperatures of around 6°C and the heavily cloudy weather situation, expectations are high that visitors will take advantage of what numerous shops have to offer. The forecast shows that it will remain dry, which increases anticipation for the market and strolls through the city.

In addition to today's shopping Sunday, further dates are planned for 2025: The next shopping Sunday will take place on December 14th, in keeping with the pre-Christmas atmosphere at the Christmas market. North Rhine-Westphalia allows four Sundays open for shopping every year, but with a few exceptions: shops are not allowed to open on the first two days of Christmas, Easter Sunday and Whitsun Sunday. The popularity of these autumn Sundays remains unbroken despite the autumnal cooling and early twilight.
