september. in the autumn, we are open on some weekdays as well as during

STEP RIGHT INTO
ASTRID LINDGREN’S
STORIES
B
e there when That Emil hoists Ida up the flagpole, play tag with Pippi
Longstocking or explore Matt’s Fort. In Astrid Lindgren’s World you and
your family become part of the classic children’s stories, and the line between story
and reality, and between theatre and play, becomes blurred. The park is full of
imaginative play areas, and music and singing can be heard from our many stages
throughout the day. If you become hungry, find a nice picnic area or visit one of our
restaurants that serve hearty Småland food made from local produce. When you
tire after a full day of play and unforgettable meetings, you can sleep comfortably in
a chalet right by the park. Welcome!

A
strid Lindgren’s World is not one but many worlds. In
one and the same day you can visit Villekulla Cottage,
Katthult, Matt’s Forest, Wild Rose Valley and
many other places from Astrid Lindgren’s books.
Here you are free to play inside the buildings and
in the surrounding settings, as long as there isn’t
a performance going on. Performances linked to
the different places are at set times of the day. In
between, you can meet Pippi Longstocking, That
Emil, Mardie, Karlsson on the Roof and all the
others who like to join in the play. The park also has
places just for play, like a barn with hay to jump in,
houses on a child-friendly scale and a ‘don’t-touchthe-ground trail’ to put your balance to the test.

HERE, CHILDREN CAN
PLAY AND PLAY
I
f there was one thing Astrid Lindgren cared deeply about, it was
children’s right to be children. This is why the theme that runs like
a red thread throughout Astrid Lindgren’s World is play. As well as
the settings from the books, there are lots of places created just for
play, indoors and under cover. Here you can balance on things, jump
between stones, cross the water on a pull-along raft and much more.
This is a place created to allow children to discover Astrid Lindgren’s
story treasure through play.

The largest open-air
Theatre in Sweden
I
f you haven’t read Astrid Lindgren’s books, you
may still have seen one of the films or heard
the music. Seeing well-known scenes from Astrid
Lindgren’s stories performed before your eyes
and hearing the classic songs sung by Pippi, Emil,
Alfred and all the others are an important part of
the experience at Astrid Lindgren’s World. Our
theatre programme is planned to ensure there is
always something for all ages to see. And when the
performances are over, the children can meet the
characters in their settings.

WE TAKE FOOD
SERIOUSLY
W
e need food to have the energy to play. If you bring your own food, there
are many nice places for you to enjoy it in. There are several picnic areas
in the park as well as a few proper barbecue areas. Coal for the barbecues is
available at the nearest point of sale.
n a place with such wonderful stories, you should naturally also expect to
be served wonderful food. In our restaurants, we cook all our food from
scratch in our own kitchens and use mostly local raw produce. The menus
have been produced in partnership with one of Sweden’s leading chefs, Fredrik
Eriksson from Långbro Värdshus. Here you will find hearty Småland fare such
as ‘isterband’ (coarsely-ground smoked sausage) and potatoes in white sauce,
‘kroppkakor’ (potato dumplings) and bacon
with potato pancakes. But there are also
meatballs with mashed potatoes, pancakes and
much more.

New!
The Brothers
Lionheart
“There are things you have to do, even if they are dangerous.
Otherwise you’re not a human being, just a piece of dirt.”
O
n 17 June 2016, a new chapter will be written at Astrid Lindgren’s
World. Then there will be new hope for the people of Wild Rose Valley
and you will be able to hear Katla’s roars from Mount Karmanjaka or listen
when the traitor Jossi keeps court at Guldtuppen restaurant in Cherry Tree
Valley. In the two green valleys, those who are brave enough to fool Tengil’s
soldiers can join in the adventures from morning to night, side by side with
Skorpan, Jonatan, Sofia, Mattias and the others.
Welcome to a time of fairy tales and campfires!

SWEDISH AUTUMN HALF-TERM
BREAK WITH AN AUTUMN MARKET
AT ASTRID LINDGREN’S WORLD
D
uring the autumn half-term break, Astrid Lindgren’s World
teems with life once again, with play, shows and activities for all
ages. Many of our characters are on location, and, together with local
craftsmen and food producers, we put on a genuine Småland autumn
market in the park. During the market, the Småland Hussar usually
pay us a visit with their horses, and many of the exhibitors show their
crafts on location in the park.
Astrid Lindgren cared deeply about children’s rights. That’s why it’s
important for us to work with the following organisations that work to
give children a good life:
Astrid Lindgrens Barnsjukhus • BRIS
Min Stora Dag • Rädda Barnen • SOS Barnbyar
