Take part in many exciting and gruesome activities, such as carving pumpkin candles, witch workshop, storytime, ghost walk and other exciting activities. Remember to arrive early, so you have time to be part of everything.

What many people know as Halloween is a long-standing European tradition. The night before the first Sunday in November has been marked as the time when the distinction between our logical world and the ghostly communion is at its weakest. What happens after dark? Do you see a pale face in the dark? Is the waltz of the dead underway? Is it true that the white lady is going again? In the light of a small lantern so much can happen…
Entrance: Kr. 100 pr. adult / 50 per child. Family price: 200, – (applies to parents and children). Buy your tickets here:

Finally, the stalls in the industrial area are filled up again with many exhibitors with homemade and short-distance products, but as usual, much more happens. At Eidsfoss manor there is a magic show with Daniel Larsen on Saturday. On the same day, the a juggling and musical show with Mr. Maniac and Mr. Orchestra is happening. The children can also go for a horse-drawn carriage ride, while the adults have a snack in the historic living rooms or relax in the beautiful garden of the 18th-century manor. At the Iron Museum, there are a lecture on the history of fireplaces, and it is possible to learn to both cast and forge. The legendary Eidsfoss waffle, which is baked on a real, wood-fired Eidsfoss oven, is also sold at the museum. On Sunday, there is also a lot going on for the whole family at the market. In addition to forging and casting courses and juggler shows, Julie Vega Dahl has a storytelling theater, where children can hear about Gingerbread Boy and Buttercup. There will also be well-known and beloved competitions such as potato and sack races, where everyone who participates will receive a candy prize. Restaurants, galleries and museums throughout the historic site are open, and a lyre box player contributes to the historic atmosphere. In front of the museum, Vestfold museums offer courses in forging with Svarttrost forge and foundry workshop throughout the market. On Saturday, there will be a lecture on the history of fireplaces and energy efficiency at the Ironworks Museum. Welcome to a beautiful spring day at historic Eidsfoss.

Opening of the old road between the iron ore mines and the ironworks – hiking, lectures and entertainment
Some of the most important mines for the Eidsfoss ironworks were located in the Konnerud field. The transport of ore went by boat and rail, but also by road to Eidsfoss. Hof history association has, in collaboration with Konnerud history association, cleared and marked this old road, and put up information signs. The event marks the opening on 18 June. Meet up at the Nikkerud mines at Konnerud 9 o’clock Saturday morning. From here, we will be walking to Skulkerud, where there will be lectures and music, and the sale of food and drink at 1-3 PM. Then the trip continues to Eidsfoss, for those who can. The entourage will probably arrive there at 4-5ish. If you do not want to walk this relatively long way, you can meet up at Thorrud camping at 11 AM. Here it will be possible to be driven to Skulkerud, where the opening event starts at 1 AM. It is also possible to join the bus from the start at Konnerud to Skulkerud, with or without return. Report in advance to Hans Peter Fleischer, tel. 994 82597 send an email at hanfleis@online.no
