Events for the Weekend: April 1st - 3rd

Move your body

The Berlin Half Marathon on Sunday opens a season with hopefully many races and other popular sporting events. If you have not signed up for a half marathon, it is probably too late, but you can in any case stand on the sidelines and cheer the participants (which also include handcarts for wheelchair riders and inline skates) . 

Children can also take part in the "Bambini race", which takes place on Saturday on the Tempelhofer Feld, where the marathon fair also takes place. You can register in the field according to availability (as long as there are still places available in the respective age group).  Details

Crafts and museums

The whole city becomes a great shop-lesson in honour of the "European Craft Day" - workshops, museums, etc. become a place where artisans exhibit their wares for sale and admiration, and sometimes even offer to participate. Great offer is available at an arts and crafts market in the Domäne Dahlem  (throughout the weekend) and on the Spandau Citadel. 

Arts and Crafts Days  - This weekend throughout the  city

A map for finding the various events can be found on the event  website 

And even more handicrafts, just for sale, you will find, among other things, as usual: 

• In the Baergarten in the Revier Südost in  Schöneweide   not far from the station, on Saturday 

• The Flowmarket ot the Maybachufer in  Neukölln on   Sunday 

If you prefer to see other people's crafts and visit fascinating workshops, this Sunday  is   Museum  Sunday and this  means that dozens of museums are open free of charge and also offer special guides, workshops and activities for children. There are also museums that combine these two major events

Museum Sunday  - all over Berlin

And more interesting events ...

Next week is the last week before the Easter / Passover holidays in the Berlin schools, which means that the post next week will probably be full of Passover events (I already know, for example, from  Hashomer Hatzair's Passover camp between the  8th. and April 10), but in the meantime already this week you can, if you wish, go to the "Shul Club" of the Women's Run Synagogue to do activities in preparation for Passover (Sunday, 12:00, for children from 3 to 10 years in two groups) 

And something more interesting: On Saturday / Sunday, a play for families (children from 5 years old)  Lost in the Woods will be performed in the middle of the  ACUD. The play is an absurd chamber comedy full of fantasy and love for the theater. Shortly before the band goes on tour in England, she performs three times in Berlin. You will especially like to receive host families and refugee children from Ukraine, write to: hawkandhilltheatre@gmail.com
