Neumünster Abbey (neimënster) has announced that it is celebrating Halloween with an open house weekend, from 30 to 31 October 2021.
Neimënster has put together an adult-oriented programme for Saturday 30 October and a family-friendly programme for Sunday 31 October 2021. On the agenda are shows, exhibitions, conferences, creative workshops and concerts, among other things.
Adults will be treated to a musical programme on the Saturday, drawing on the original compositions of neimënster's associate artist Pol Belardi or letting themselves be carried away by the bewitching voice of Martha Da'Ro.
