The "Alter Schlachthof" cultural center is one of the largest cultural providers in the region. Every year, around 200 live events take place on the grounds of the "Alter Schlachthof".
NATIONALLY KNOWN ARTISTS perform in the area of cabaret and comedy, as well as NEW DISCOVERIES that are still waiting to become known.
The range of music events is as broad as the scene itself: from CLASSIC TO PUNK, FROM FOLK TO ROCK AND BLUES: the "PUB-MUSIC-NIGHT" has a special place. In this setting, various artists perform in the Kulturhaus restaurant. In summer, this series is supplemented by the"KULTURSOMMER", which takes place in the Biergarten in good weather.
The CINEMA at the Kulturhaus features a CHEERFUL ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMME, which has won many awards for its outstanding program.
But the other cultural sectors are not neglected either: readings, theater performances, exhibitions, dance events and parties also take place here.
The"GRÄFTE-TRÖDEL" are legendary: twice a year, the region's largest flea market along the Soest city wall invites you to browse and haggle.
The GASTSTÄTTE is open from 6 p.m. on event days and offers a variety of drinks and snacks. The SEMINAR ROOMS OF THE KULTURHAUS are used by many Soest clubs for their meetings and by companies for conferences.
