Our house is 3 blocks away from the Concert House. Both the house and the symphony orchestra are world class. They will perform Bethovens violin concerto with Maxim Vengerov on violin and Rachmaninovs Symphony No. 2. There is one performance on Wednesday at 19.30, for which Laura and Jacob already have tickets. Only returns left for that concert. It plays again Friday at 18.00. If more people want to go, Laura and Jacob will try to exchange their tickets and go Friday instead. Normal ticket price is SEK 350. You can take a chance on getting last minute tickets at SEK 100.
The Art Museum, which is next to the concert house, has a nice special exhibition of Marie and PS. Krřyer. It also has a lovely regular collection of mainly Scandinavian art. I suggest a visit on Wednesday when the museum is open until 21.00.
For those who are interested in a gourmet experience, we would like to suggest a dinner at a restaurant called Popcorn. Despite its name, it does really good food at prices that are quite reasonable. For non-vegetarians we recommend their game menu and for vegetarians the vegetarian menu. The first set menu costs SEK 475. Matching wines with each dish at SEK 325. The vegetarian menu is SEK 225. Wines at SEK 190. If there are many people who want to go, doing this mid-week is easier to arrange than during the weekend.
The plan is to do quite a bit of food in the house. However, we expect all who participate in the eating to also participate in preparations and clean-up.
If you want to prepare your own stuff, you are welcome to use the kitchen. Just make sure you leave it in good condition.
There will be lists for food. You have to sign up at the latest the night before to be sure you get fed on a certain day. Everything will be approximately at cost and we will ask you for money before you leave. While it may be a bit more expensive at home, it will be nowhere near restaurant prices.

If there are people craving things like egg&bacon or porridge, that can be arranged too.
Sandwich makings and on some days a soup. If you crave a hot lunch, there are many lunch places in the vicinity (open Monday-Friday generally).
We plan to have hot dinners in the house on most nights. Exactly what food we will serve is not planned yet. Sometimes vegetarian alternatives will not be a problem, sometimes we will need help in coming up with a suitable solution. Some ideas for food are:
We will cost food and drink separately for dinner.
