Questions
01Is everything here really free in the Ruhr region?
Everything the organiser lists as free or pay-what-you-like in the Ruhr region. Sometimes you have to sign up first, or the organiser asks for a donation (that is stated with the outing). Check the organiser's site before you go.
02How do you choose the picks?
In order of what makes it special: one-off or not, who plays and how well it fits the season. Where we can, a pick says why.
03What is not included?
Online events, lectures, courses, weekly classes, church services and business meetings.
