Take a trip to Bø Museum and Christmas market on 26 November from 11 am to 3 pm. Here you can buy homemade handicrafts, pancakes or books, or just meet acquaintances. At the Christmas workshop for children, old-fashioned Christmas decorations can be made, beaded or made felt animals. Porridge and coffee are also sold.

Christmas workshop and sales at Hurtigruten Museum

The Hurtigruten Museum plans to create perhaps the world’s longest Christmas link on November 26, and invites children to help them with the project from 12–2 p.m. There will also be super sales on annual passes for 2023 – half price! Here there are good opportunities to do away with some Christmas shopping.
