The Decepticons at Salsta Castle

Salsta has a long history of secrets and scammers. New scammers are now forging their plans - do you manage to expose their lies before they slay the faithful? The game takes about 3 hours depending on how many participants you are. During this time, you will take on several rounds of challenges in teams of 3-4 people, and explore the castle's many rooms in search of answers! One of the winning team gets immunity. Afterwards, it is proclaimed who the impostors have slain this round. Then it's time to debate and vote out the person who is believed to be a scammer. But do not worry - neither the one who is outed nor those who are killed by the deceivers need to leave the castle. They keep competing with their team, and even have the chance to resurrect. The game is best suited for adults, but works great for youngsters as well. However, children under 10 years of age should be in adult company. The game is available in two variants. One where Afternoon Tea is served with both tasty and sweet snacks, and one where coffee is not included (but of course can be purchased separately before the game starts). This date does not include Afternoon Tea.

Lunch with murder riddle

Strychnine is one of the most difficult substances known. This taste is hard to hide if there are lethal doses in your tea. But who would guess that this is the origin of a strange taste? More likely that the servant left the tea leaves for too long. On the morning that Ullrika Koskull, and her chambermaid, were discovered dead, traces of strychnine were also found in a teacup. Take a look at the interrogations of the six dinner guests who were now suspects, and see if you can figure out who knew the Countess would not wake up the next day. This murder riddle is carried out in two parts. During the hot court, the evening is retold from the perspectives of the suspects, and the teams can converse among themselves about motives and theories. Next, before the dessert is served, it is time it is time to secure clues by examining the halls of the castle for rooms. You have to be quick, as the team that returns first and points out the killer wins! But don't be too quick to jump to conclusions - you only get one chance to pinpoint the killer. Lunch takes about 2 hours, and includes main course and dessert. Charges for drinks other than table water will be added and purchased on site.

Dinner with Murder Riddle

Why did Salsta's lord Per Brahe die in 1772, only 25 years old? Where and how did the castle wife Ulrika Koskull die in 1805, who is now said to be walking again at the castle? Book dinner with murder riddle to solve any of these murder riddles. For a smaller company, it is of course excellent that the participants compete to solve the murder mystery individually. But the most fun is usually to compete in teams of about 4-6 people, to have others to discuss the clues with. Perfect for birthday celebrations, bachelorette parties or to combine team building with a castle dinner! A three-course dinner is included in the price but the cost of drinks is added and purchased on site.

This year marks 500 years since the birth of Katarina Jagiellonica — Polish-Lithuanian princess, Swedish queen and one of the most fascinating figures of the 16th century in Nordic and Central European history. At Salsta, the anniversary is celebrated through an evening where history, art and food come together in a cohesive whole. In the performance Katarina Jagiellonica herself comes forward and tells her life in I-form — about her childhood at the Polish court, about her marriage to Duke Johan, about her imprisonment on Gripsholm and about her role as queen in a country that became her new home. The show is based on historical sources and long-term research work on Katarina Jagiellonica's life and contemporary times. The performance takes place in historical costume, inspired by Katarina's own dress, and is performed with respect for the language, mentality and living conditions of the time. This is a unique opportunity to meet one of Sweden's queens not as an icon or symbol, but as a human being — with voice, memory and presence. Price is 840SEK/person. Children up to 15 years 740kr. Price for performance alone is 150 SEK.

Herman Lindqvist - lecture on Sweden's 18th century history

An evening with a talk by culture and history journalist Herman Lindqvist. The Freedom Period (1720-1772) was a flourishing time for Swedish natural science, and never was the freedom of printing so great. But how free was it?

Herman Lindqvist tells us about this dramatic period in Swedish history, where the lords of Salsta Castle were particularly active in the rapid changes of the times.

During the time there was discussion about whether the state might dispose of Salsta Castle, Herman Lindqvist helped to draw attention to the cultural-historical value that exists to preserve the historical environment at Salsta collected and accessible.

A more beautiful world 26/9

*A more beautiful world - a musical journey with Astrid Lindgren as a guide! * The Andersons are the Dutch-Swedish duo that will make your heart dance! Since 2012, Anna Ågren and Roel Dullaart have charmed audiences in the Netherlands and, after moving to Uppsala in 2023, also audiences on Swedish stages. Critics have called their performing arts “rare beautiful” and “inspiring in a world where beauty is at stake”. Now they invite you to a fiery and humorous newly written theatre concert with Astrid Lindgren as the guiding light. They will take you to Dalagatan 46. Vasastan, Stockholm. Astrid Lindgren's mailbox. Thousands of letters have been printed there — with hopes, worries, hauntings and dreams. Astrid wasn't just a fairy tale. She was a kind of confessor for all of Sweden. Or for half the world, if you're to be careful. All her life she fought for a better world. And here we are now -- in the middle of it all -- with the big questions of life in your hands. And heart full of longing, for a more beautiful world. We sing. We'll tell you. We sometimes stumble upon the words -- We get up and sing along. Because the world is waiting. Each concert will also be accompanied by an exciting guest who, with his unique voice and expression — in film, art, literature, philosophy, theatre or poetry — gives the performance a glimpse of his own. Welcome to a theatrical concert that sneaks under your skin -- and stays put. Like a little revolution song in your pocket. *Learn more about the De Andersons and the performance at: * www.deandersons.com Before the performance, you have the opportunity to book dinner at 18.00. *Recommended age: * from 15 years *Organizer: * De Andersons in collaboration with Salsta Castle and with the support of the Cultural Council of Uppsala Municipality and Region Uppsala.
