Kräftskiva - the traditional Swedish feast - has changed shape over the centuries but has continued to unite generations. From the royal feast of the 16th century, through the bourgeois "kräftsupen" of the 19th century, to the 1930s when the expression kräftskiva was coined and spread from the upper classes to the whole population.
Soon we'll be standing there - in August, when the evenings start to get cooler - watching gardens, cottages and patios fill up with hats and brandy, while schnapps songs echo across the neighborhoods.
We invite you to a crayfish party in "Emanuel's cottage"! The view may be magnificent, with the King's Castle as a backdrop, but the experience is inspired by our culinary leader's childhood memories of crayfish parties in the countryside outside Örebro. We set the table for an evening with Swedish crayfish, classic accessories and Stenborgare in the glasses. An evening where the shells are allowed to fly, the family and the Swedish cultural heritage are at the center - and where the "Dream Carriage" is rolled around for a little touch of decadence.
The evening will be led by our friend Steffo Törnqvist, who will be our cicerone through short songs, live performances and unexpected surprises.
It will be easy, relaxed - and unforgettably fun!
