Winter holiday programs run through weeks 7 and 8, welcoming families daily from 10:00 to 16:00.

Prices vary depending on the chosen activity, typically starting around 35 DKK with glassblowing experiences priced at 350 DKK including shipping of your creation.
After a creative morning, families can enjoy a meal at Restaurant Holmegaard or stroll through the nearby Holmegaard Bog for a breath of fresh winter air.
