Tips & Advice

  • Set up Swish before you come if the kids want a pony ride, because that's the only payment the pony rides accept.
  • Do the pony rides early, because they finish before the market closes, and plan around Hammarkören's two performances by Gamla Herrgården.
  • Take the kids to Dansbanan to meet Santa, where they can sit with him for a chat or a photo together.
  • Save time for the estate's own shops, which sell glass, ceramics and wrought iron by resident artists plus Björk & Berries soaps and skincare.
  • Without a car, take bus line 44 from Sandviken towards Ockelbo and get off at Högbo Kyrka, the nearest stop.

Special Events & Promotions
