Christmas market
The Christmas market is organized in the castle's courtyard and outside the main entrance, where exhibitors will offer crafts, sweets, and Christmas gifts. Outside the entrance, there will also be wraps and hamburgers for sale in food trucks. Our kind Santa will be in the crowd, assisting with wish lists and our fun Christmas gift competition. Pony rides will also be offered in the castle park over the weekend.
On Sunday, December 3, a Christmas Concert with Bålstad Chamber Choir will be offered at Skokloster Church.

About Accessibility in the Castle
Christmas Market at the World's Foremost Baroque Castle
Skokloster Castle is one of the world’s best-preserved Baroque castles. Meet Count Carl Gustaf Wrangel and Countess Anna Margareta von Haugwitz, who had the castle built in the 17th century, and get to know the people who have lived and worked at Skokloster over the years. The collections of art, weapons, books and textiles are unique examples of their kind, both in Sweden and internationally. Most of it has been preserved, and to step into the castle is to travel back to a time that has passed – to the luxury and everyday life of the nobility as it looked during 350 years. Located on the Sko Peninsula beside Lake Mälaren.
