1 I fancy something unusual - are there any events in the Ruhr area in December 2025 that are a bit different?
Sure, the Ruhr region is known for its diversity! If you want to try something different, how about the New York Gospel Stars - Tour 2025 / 2026. Or you can get up on or in front of the stage at a comedy event and laugh at the best pot stories that are told to you from the sewing box.
2. indoor events in particular are often just too expensive for me. Is there a chance to win tickets?
Yes, absolutely! We regularly hold lotteries for tickets to lots of cool events on our Rausgegangen website and in the app. There's even a separate category for ticket lotteries so you don't miss out! What's more, there are also lots of free events that you can simply drop by without pulling out your wallet. 🎟️✨
3. what can you do in the Ruhr region in December 2025 if you don't fancy the cold?
If you want to avoid the cold weather, events such as concerts or a drink and paint are perfect. Here you can dress warmly, chill out inside and still experience something exciting without freezing outside in the cold. More ideas in the Rausgegangen app or on the website. 🎶🔥
