The youths from Hvitfeldtska Gymnasium performed a wonderful concert in our Victorian-era attire. Thank you, Hvitfeldtska Chamber Choir!

During the weekend of November 24-26, Team Marstrand is organizing a Christmas market at Strandverket. On Saturday the 25th, a group from Hvitfeldtska Gymnasium will sing Christmas carols at the market. The entrance fee to the market is 100 SEK.

Later in the evening, Hvitfeldtska Chamber Choir will also perform a concert at Marstrand's church. The concert is free with voluntary donations to the Childhood Cancer Foundation.
Hvitfeldtska Chamber Choir at Marstrand's Church, 7:00 PM on November 25th. See you there!

This year, the Victorian Days created our first English program brochure. It was made possible with the assistance of the Leader organization. They support us with EU funding and public funds.

We have also begun updating our website so that it can be read in English as well.

Thank you for the assistance!

Would you like to join us for the Royal Swim during the Victorian Days? The Royal Swim takes place at Strandverket on Marstrand Island at 2:15 PM on both Saturday and Sunday.

Come and borrow a Victorian-era swimsuit in Paradisparken before 12:00 PM so you can join in when the swim starts. But remember to bring your own swimwear too, as the suits become somewhat see-through after being worn in water. Warm punch will be provided after the swim for those who need to warm up.

See you this weekend at the Victorian Days in Marstrand!

This year, you will be able to see our summer workers perform at various locations on Marstrand Island. At the bottom of the images in this post, you will find a map showing the different locations. There will also be signs outside the gardens to indicate where to enter since it can be a bit tricky to figure out in some places. You can also see the summer workers at their concert on August 5th at 6:00 PM at Marstrand's Church.

If you want to take a ride on the tram this year, be on the lookout for it between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. They will be operating their route from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on both Saturday and Sunday during the Victorian Days.

Happy Clown will be performing their children's theater on Saturday, August 12th, and
Sunday, August 13th, at 10:30 AM and 12:00 PM in the playground by Marstrand Church.

In the program brochure, it states that the theater will be performed on Friday at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and on Saturday at 10:00 AM, but these times are incorrect.

See you next week!

This year, the Victorian Days will be inaugurated with a film screening at Marstrands Havshotell on Wednesday, August 9th at 6:00 PM.

The film is a docudrama about Emilie Flygare-Carlén (1807-1892), the girl from Strömstad who became our greatest author for the next hundred years and also our first queen of detective fiction. Her breakthrough novel "The Rose of Tistelön" is considered the world's first thriller, and do you know that it takes place among the skerries around Pater Noster...

The film is one hour long, and the director Bodil Tingsby will be present to introduce the film and answer questions.
