Juhannus: Midsummer Finnish Style
25th - 27th June
As Summer Solstice falls for a weekday this year, we had a tough call on when to celebrate. But in the end our Finnish roots won and we decided to celebrate on the day when Finland - and other Scandinavian countries too - celebrate the Midsummer (Juhannus).
Midsummer is very magical time in Nordic countries. So please join us for our traditional Finnish celebrations, which will include bathing in the wood heated sauna, music, sauna sausages and a big bonfire! And perhaps even some spells on our beautiful meadows, which will be in full bloom.
