Welcome to Norrviken Gardens

Welcome to a day filled with music, dancing around the maypole, the flavours of summer and blooming gardens. Bring your family and friends and celebrate Midsummer in one of the season’s most beautiful settings.

Throughout the day, we invite you to enjoy a traditional Swedish Midsummer celebration with music, games and togetherness for all ages. Unpack your picnic in the greenery, explore our gardens in full summer bloom, or settle into Orangeriet Restaurant for a Midsummer-inspired meal.

This summer, we welcome Henrik Wahlström to Villa Abelin with an exhibition that explores life’s contrasts – between light and darkness, strength and vulnerability, anxiety and recovery. In the meeting between his expressive artworks and Norrviken’s lush gardens, an experience is created that invites reflection, contemplation and hope. Discover an exhibition where nature and creativity interact, reminding us of the power of slowing down, reconnecting with ourselves and finding new perspectives.

Along Rudolf Abelin’s woodland path, two new characters have found their home. The monumental sculptures Nest and Thinker by Finnish artist Kim Simonsson appear to have emerged from the moss itself, becoming a natural part of the landscape. Here, art, nature and imagination meet in a fairytale-like universe where the line between reality and storytelling begins to blur. Discover a permanent installation that will live and evolve alongside the forest – becoming part of Norrviken’s continuing story.

Norrviken Gardens is a place where love and nature come together in a fairytale setting. Here, among lush garden rooms and blooming pathways, weddings filled with magic and timeless beauty are created. With the sea on the horizon and the greenery of the period gardens as a backdrop, you can celebrate your entire special day in one place – from the ceremony and wedding reception to the party that lasts long into the night.

It’s no coincidence that Norrviken is one of Sweden’s most sought-after wedding venues. Here, nature becomes part of the celebration, the changing seasons give each day its unique touch, and every wedding becomes a story in itself – a story that begins here, but lives on forever.

We are proud and honoured to have been named Experience of the Year by Hylla Skåne – Visit Skåne’s annual celebration of the region’s tourism and events industry.

In the jury’s motivation, our work to create a vibrant destination is highlighted – a place where garden knowledge, historical storytelling, and aesthetic experiences come together, and where nature, culture, and gastronomy meet in a year-round experience.

The award Experience of the Year recognises organisations that develop visitor experiences in innovative and sustainable ways while strengthening the attractiveness of their destination. Receiving this award is a meaningful acknowledgment of our long-term work and our commitment to creating memorable experiences for our guests.

We share this recognition with all the guests, colleagues, and partners who are part of Norrviken’s journey.
