A former ammunition depot in Varna dating back to the times of the Ottoman Empire, which had been abandoned and deserted for two decades, has become a cultural center. The initiative belongs to local associations and on December 17, 18 and 19 the space hosts a "different" Christmas event. Its visitors will enjoy the handicrafts made especially for the event, beautiful traditional and non-traditional ideas for the upcoming Christmas holidays. To enhance the pre-holiday coziness, the hosts have taken care to provide mulled wine, combined with a special selection of jazz music. Part of the funds raised from the sale of the exhibited works will go to support four different charitable causes.
