At Kaiserhaus Berne, we will be doing Christmas our way, starting on 20 November: with things that last instead of things that are thrown away soon. With Winter Pop-up, workshops, repairs, meeting people, and thinking about value and gifts. To kick things off, we’ll turn Black Friday into a Better Friday, and then December is up next, full of ideas to enjoy, create, and discover.
A Great Friday
Black Friday? Make it better.
On 27 November, when Black Friday will be going on in other places, we invite you to have a great time at the Kaiserhaus. Our Great Friday offer is simple: we’re adding value to the things we already have. Bring what you need fixed to our atelier, and the textile atelier will patch it up. At the care & repair station, you can clean your shoes or sew loose buttons back on. You can grab some free mint tea from the samowar while you wait. Warm up, hang out, and chat.
Friday: 10 am – 7 pm
Winter Pop-up
Eat. Drink. Hang out.
From 20 November to 24 December, we will have mountain potatoes from the Albula Valley, as well as raclette and fondue made with regional cheese from Fromage Mauerhofer. You can enjoy fondue from the fondue bar and raclette from the mobile raclette station as you watch the spectacular flames of the fire tubes. We also have Kaiser mulled wine and mulled cider. We focus on the exquisite quality of our ingredients that characterise the culinary offer at the Kaiserhaus.
And because a winter get-together needs the right sound, the Hof-Bar will take care of the music. The listening bar’s excellent speakers will play it throughout the courtyard. Maybe with a Christmas beat or two. Just with a slightly different twist.
From 20 November to 24 December 2026

Make your own gifts
Created by you. With design in mind.
DIY doesn’t have to look like a school crafts project. Right up until Christmas, our makers and designers will open their workshops and work together with you. With their feel for the material, shape, and colour, you will find your own handcrafted design language, whether it’s an engraved silver pendant, or a wallet made from an old trade show tarp. Stop by, design with us, and take home something really good. You will find all dates and times here and more information on the agenda.

Moneyverse
What is the value of a gift?
What gives a gift its value? Its price, the time spent creating it? Or the story behind it? Do we give things, attention, or possibilities? What would we give someone if money was not a concern? And what would we like to receive, even though we can’t put a price on it? Questions that don’t just have a single answer. You might find your own in the Moneyverse.
