Welcome to three days of Christmas for all the senses during the first Advent weekend. We are inaugurating our Christmas madness with a Christmas market with evening opening on Friday. NOTE! The museum is closed on Friday for preparations, and is instead open from 16–20 pm! Friday evening's event is aimed primarily at adults, while Saturday and Sunday are aimed at the whole family, with child-friendly activities.
Experience the Christmas market in the evening, when the museum park is illuminated by lanterns, fire baskets and string lights. The market stalls sell Christmas food, Christmas decorations and crafts (which may become Christmas gifts). The Christmas market spreads out both indoors and outdoors. You can also buy sausages to grill, buy other hot food and mulled wine, watch the Lucia procession and listen to music. In Bosmålatorpet and Blekingegården, the bonfire is lit and Kulturen's staff will tell you about how Christmas was celebrated in the past.
During Saturday and Sunday, the Christmas rush continues with even more Christmas activities. Don't miss visiting Västra Vrams rectory, Blekingegården, Bosmålatorpet, Thomanderska huset and Arbetarbostaden, where you will meet guides in historical costumes who will be happy to tell you about how Christmas was celebrated in the past. Children can visit Santa Claus and his helpers, there will be dancing around the tree and Christmas crafts.
NOTE: It is not permitted to bring dogs to the Christmas market. Assistance dogs are welcome, but they must be vaccinated and wear a vest.
– We have 90 vendors at the Christmas market, of which 18 are new this year. Svensk Form is moving into the Farmhouse next to the Workers' Housing with a design-filled pop-up. A new food item is poffertjes – Dutch mini pancakes – served by Petra and Wout Janssen from Söderlund's small farm.
– Four new choirs will perform, so that there will be music in every corner of the museum, including the museum's southern area. This is in addition to the usual music selection, which includes Tomtemor och Julbocken, Unga Bunga Brass, Lund's Spelmansgille and jazz music with Joakim and Daniel. And of course the Lucia procession!
– Double up on gingerbread and marzipan this year, both in Borgarhuset and Allmogehallen. Buy a decorated gingerbread and see how to make marzipan figures.
– The carpenter of culture shows medieval crafts in the Dean's House basement at Saturday.
