At Rønnebæksholm, near Næstved, the Verdensballetten brings ballet and classical music to life under the open sky in an inspiring blend of art, nature, and history. The performances, featuring top international dancers accompanied by world-class opera singers and musicians, take place within the serene manor grounds once home to poet N.F.S. Grundtvig. Evening concerts here usually start around 19:30 with tickets available through the organizers. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early to explore art exhibitions and enjoy refreshments in the gallery. Wearing warm layers and bringing a blanket is recommended to make the evening comfortable outdoors.
Meanwhile, Gavnø Castle presents a majestic setting for various seasonal events including concerts that highlight the estate’s splendid gardens and the calm waters encircling this historic Rococo castle. The castle park bursts with colour from spring tulips to summer roses, creating a vibrant backdrop for any visit. Families can combine cultural outings with fun activities like the Gavnø Go Fly treetop adventure courses or exploring the playground and animal petting areas.
Both venues are easily accessible by car or public transport from Copenhagen and Næstved, making them excellent day trip options to enjoy the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of the region.
