Regular events

This year’s juletrefest is taking place at Toorak House on Sunday, 12 December. The fest will follow the Norwegian Christmas church service in the Swedish church.

Join us to celebrate Christmas, Scandinavian style! Every year, the Swedish Church, 21 St Georges Road, Toorak, will hold its traditional and very popular Scandinavian Christmas Bazaar on the first weekend in December.

The 2011 Nordic festival is likely to be held the weekend of 28-29 May 2011. The festival is a not-for-profit event organised by the Warburton Chamber of Commerce in consultation with the local Nordic communities. Any funds raised during the event will go towards the next year's festival and our Warburton Community Christmas Party.

Åse Louise Lindberg, the Norwegian Priest who presides in Sydney, will hold regular church services at the Swedish Church in Toorak. The dates are set as follows:

28 February at 11:00 am
25 April at 16:00 pm
16 May at 11:00 at (coincides with our National Day celebrations)
20 June at 11:00 am

Please come along!

Please come and join us every second and fourth Tuesday of the month. The dates in May will be the 11th and 25th May – we can do a little bit of a special May 17th party on the 25th even though we would have had the Sunday event.

This function is scheduled for every last Sunday of the month, and we want to bring together all age groups for a fun-filled and ‘hyggelig’ afternoon, where you can meet fellow Norwegians, chat in Norwegian or just enjoy the great company of Norwegians.

Dates and venues to be advised.

We hope to see you there!
