Historic dinner at Salsta Castle 25/4
SVT's Historien om Sverige recorded the 18th century section on Salsta and the 17th century section of Historieätarnas likewise. But the castle's ancestry is older than that; now we go back to the Middle Ages, the most turbulent time at Salsta Castle, Saturday 25 April at 6pm there will be a Historical Dinner at Salsta Castle After dinner, you will have the opportunity to try 15th-century dances led by Annika Windahl and the dance group Branicula. Before dinner, at 5 pm, there is a performance about Katarina Jagellonica, by and with Victoria Enefors. 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? After an unsuccessful war against Russia, Petersburg gained control of Sweden. It was exceedingly close that our country had been divided like Poland. 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. It wasn't for nothing that the entire episode about the 18th century was recorded at Salsta Castle in SVT's seriesHistorien om Sverige. Warmly welcome! ------- Wednesday 14 October, Salsta Castle, Vattholma (Uppsala) Stage program 18.30-20.00 Possibility to eat before the talk and bar open until about 20.45. Ticket price 250 kr (Student 190 kr) Salsta castle café & bistro is open 11-18.30 ------- Herman Lindqvist, with books and TV shows, has nurtured new generations in an interest in our shared history. The epithet Sveriges historienestor is close at hand. 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. In connection with the talk, of course, you will also have the opportunity to visit the castle. For the good talk before and after Salsta castle café and bistro is open until 18.30.

Lecture July 5 at 13 in the King's Hall upstairs Grow Without Rules - Uncle Green When we stopped believing a lot of things about cultivation and instead cultivated more and more based on our curiosity and joy, our cultivation became more natural. If we can break some of the usual rules every year, we are happy to do so. We co-grow most things, both flowers and vegetables together, sow most things cold, don't care much about crop rotation and find row and plant spacing to be among the most boring things you can think of. Welcome into a freer and more beautiful way of farming!” Want to sell something, show something off, or give a garden-themed talk? Contact us at tradgardsfest@salstaslottskafe.se. Warmly welcome!

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.
