Sjöbo: Christmas Market at Övedskloster, Dec 13 – 15
This is the seventh time this unique Christmas market at Övedskloster has been organised, with a specific focus on food and handicrafts from the local area. Just next to the castle there is an old cowshed from the 19th century with a wonderful, rustic atmosphere. This is the heart of the Christmas market. But the market also spreads out over the whole of the old farm, castle courtyard and park. The main attraction is, of course, all the exhibitors who are displaying their fine products. However, visitors will also find a Lucia procession, horse and cart, Christmas choir, farm animals, sausage grilling, a puppet theatre and much more. And, of course, Christmas trees, oil lamps, torches, pine branches, saffron buns and mulled wine. Which all adds up to create a wonderful old-fashioned Christmas atmosphere.
