Winter Holidays & Fastelavn
Open throughout the winter holidays from February 6–15
For the first time ever, Reffen will be open throughout the winter holidays, and we are going all in with a red-hot program in the middle of the winter cold.
Look forward to creative workshops, bonfires, jazz, DJs, street food, games for the kids, and festive fastelavn experiences for young and old alike. We'll end with a bang with a carnival weekend where children and adults each get their day in the spotlight.
All week
• Coloring books & hot drinks in the coffee bar
• S'mores over the bonfire
• Mini golf in Yellow Backyard
• Arcade games, children's corner, and workshops in Werkstatt
• Plenty of street food and cozy winter vibes throughout Reffen
The week offers a packed program with creative carnival workshops, the Mini Club, jazz, DJs, and much more.
There is room for families with children, creative souls, and those who just want to hang out with good music and hot drinks.
And best of all: everything is free.

*What is Fastelavn?
Fastelavn is a traditional Nordic celebration, similar to a children’s carnival. It’s a playful day filled with costumes, creativity and community, where children dress up, sing songs and take part in the classic tradition of “beating the barrel” to become Cat King or Cat Queen.
