Swedish Arts, Crafts Exhibition in Bastad
Next weekend, July 27-29, 330 Swedish Artisans will expose genuine Swedish handicraft in Båstad, northwest Skåne. For some reason ☺ this fair is also combined with a Classic Car Show . Located by the beach and harbour Art and Crafts (Hantverksmässan) is a perfect event to attend even on a hot day. The hardest thing is to choose what to shop from the Artisans. I suppose the cars are not for sale! The events are open 10:00 am until 6:00 pm.
Do not forget to bring cash in Swedish Crowns with you. Most of the exhibitors are small businesses and do not accept credit card. It is not possible to exchange money in the area!
The best way to get here is by car – approx. 2 hours from Copenhagen, or by train to Ängelholm and then change to a bus. There is a lot of possibilities to comfortable accommodation in this district: small cosy countryside hotels or great SPA hotels. You should visit some of the old traditional cafés with homemade Swedish bakery and cakes with the surroundings of a rural landscape or the beautiful view from the top of the ridge.
