Culture Night 2023

Nordic co-operation is moving outdoors to the square at Ved Stranden 18 on Friday 13 October. Along with the Icelandic and Norwegian embassies we will co-host a culture evening featuring Nordic music and food.

Learn more about Nordic co-operation and the three organisations based in the Nordic House: the Nordic Council of Ministers, the Nordic Council and the Nordic Culture Fund. Our information service, Info Norden, will also be on hand with everything you need to know if you are considering travelling in or relocating to one of you neighbouring countries.

Join us for a little bit of food, speeches, music and hygge.

We are highlighting Icelandic and Norwegian culture on Culture Night this year. Iceland holds the Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers and Norway the Presidency of the Nordic Council in 2023. The two presidencies rotate between the Nordic countries.
