A Baroque evening in June
– music, poetry and architecture in magnificent harmony
Listen to Baroque and early music, with some of Sweden's most well-known musicians:
- Per Gross and Anna Paradiso Laurin
- Stina Ekblad and Mime Brinkmann
- Maria Keohane and Leif Åke Wiklund
- Bålsta choir led by Gunnar Klum
The event is a collaboration between Gunnar Klum and Skokloster Castle, with support by Region Uppsala, Statens kulturråd (The Swedish Arts Council) and Håbo municipality.
Children's activities in The Paradise Playground
Welcome to our historical play area, we call this lush spot next to the castle "Paradiset". Here, you can explore nature and learn more about what was once cultivated at Skokloster. You can also play in the pavilion and ride in a horse-drawn carriage. The park is open every day, all year round, but in the summer the museum's educational staff is there during museum opening hours to engage the kids.
Tournament and medieval market
Nordic Knights organizes a yearly jousting tournament in the castle area. For information see the Nordic Knights website.
