Workshop with Hanna Wendelbo
Designer and creator Hanna Wendelbo teaches us how to create floral arrangements with spring flowers! We welcome you with a glass of bubbles, then Hanna will talk about colors and flowers in season. Afterward, you will create arrangements for the Easter table and receive tips on how to take beautiful photos of them.
The workshop is suitable for both those with experience and beginners. Cost: 1995 SEK (including materials and non-alcoholic sparkling wine). Limited number of spots available.
Flower dresses
The four seasons – spring, summer, autumn, winter – inspire imaginative, magnificent floral dresses with the castle as a backdrop. See floral dresses created by the florists at Löthnergården Inredning & Blomster in Bålsta.
Easter family activities
Family Tour and Meet the Animals at the Parkvilla
Did you know that there used to be plenty of poultry at Skokloster in the past? The Wrangel and Brahe families raised chickens and turkeys, which they sent to the market in Stockholm for sale. Today, the chickens and other animals at Skokloster live peacefully at the Parkvilla, near the castle and the Paradise playground.
During the Easter family tour, we will visit Julia Persson at the Parkvilla, where she will introduce her animals and tell us more about them. How long does it take for an egg to hatch into a chick? Why do rabbits have such big ears? How do homing pigeons always find their way home? Why do quails never sit in trees? You'll get answers to all your questions and have the chance to pet and feed the animals!
