Fairytales in Øygarden

12 pm (Norwegian) and 1 pm (English)

Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays week 8–9

Join us east of the sun and west of the moon!

At Øygarden, we aim to recreate the magical atmosphere Asbjørnsen and Moe experienced as they visited farms across the country and collected fairytales.

When evening fell and it grew too dark to work, young and old would gather around the hearth to share tales of princesses and trolls, peculiar animals, and clever people. The stories of "The White Bear King Valemon" are among the most famous Norwegian folk tales, captivating audiences of all ages for generations.

  • Duration: Approximately 30 minutes
  • Location: Holøstua in Øygarden
  • Pre-registration required to secure your spot. Maximum 20 participants.
  • The ticket grants access to the whole museum.

A host will be present in Øygarden throughout opening hours on Saturdays and Sundays during weeks 8 and 9.
