Every year before Christmas, the traditional Christmas market is held at Bærums Verk. It is considered one of the best and most charming in the Oslo region and there are a number of activities for kids and adults. Get the good Christmas feeling, experience handicrafts in the old workers' houses, a fantastic Christmas market and delicious local delicatessen from the Farmer's Market. Learn the stories of Christmas at Verket 1814 from the guided tours. And the kids would love to go for a tour with the Horse and Cart. There is a total of six eateries to enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner, and 40 exciting shops where you can do your Christmas shopping.
Join a historical walk or a sculpture park tour when you admire the country´s largest expo of Norwegian three-dimensional art : Let the little ones take part in fun Christmas workshops. The last four Sundays before Christmas Eve, you can buy locally-sourced treats – for yourself or to put under the Christmas tree at the Farmer’s Market. In beautiful surroundings by the Lomma river, Bærums Verk has rows of old wooden houses housing artisan workshops, art- and jewelry galleries, the iron smith (22nd July monument in Oslo), glass blowers and restaurants. At Klart Glass discover how the most exquisite glasses are being blown, or maybe blow your own!

Wergelandshaugen has a beautiful and peaceful location, here you will immediately notice the tranquility that rural surroundings can provide. In the associated English garden, you can see and smell the plants and flowers from ancient times, back to the Middle Ages. The historic garden has been painstakingly restored to the 1920s, according to photographs and with contemporary plants. New this year is the portal to the forest and the balance park for children and young people.
You are invited to art experiences both outside and inside. Twice a year, Wergelandshaugen has artists in residence and various art exhibitions are held.
