Tips & Advice

  • Bring a card or Swish rather than cash, because the entrance and nearly all the market sellers don't take cash.
  • Bring children on Saturday or Sunday, when Santa, tree dancing and crafts are on and five historic houses tell about Christmas in the past.
  • Don't come on Friday daytime, because the museum is closed during the day for preparations and only opens for the evening event.
  • Give yourself plenty of time, because Julstöket spreads across indoor and outdoor stalls and historic houses and is a whole Christmas experience, not just a market.
  • Students should bring a valid student card and ID, because you need both at the entrance to use a discounted ticket.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Friday evening is primarily aimed at adults; Saturday and Sunday are family-focused, with child-friendly activities.
  • On Saturday and Sunday, children can meet Santa and his helpers, make crafts, and dance around the tree.
  • Visitors aged 0–18 and Kulturen members receive free admission and do not need a ticket.
  • Pensioner and student tickets are 125 kr; students must show a valid student card and ID at the entrance.
