Halmstad has really been buzzing with life this weekend! With several events taking place in and around the city, the Halmstad Art Of Living Festival took center stage.

Nordic Stretch Tents collaborated with Norre Katts Park and Halmstad Castle to create a little magic in our hometown. Norre Katts Park was transformed into a training mecca with a secret Zen garden, while the castle park was opened to the public.

At the castle, guests could enjoy refreshments from Chalenius Fredins and Krantzbord and make themselves comfortable in one of our glamping tents, which we had set up around the lush, green garden, giving guests the chance to see views of Halmstad that they may never have experienced before.

In Norre Katts Park, festival visitors had the opportunity to participate in various exercise classes under our 7.5 x 15 meter light gray stretch tent. Our sailcloths also provided shelter for the audience listening to lectures on the hill at Rotundan. As you made your way down to the pond, across the picturesque white bridge, you were greeted by a sign with the text: "Somewhere beyond right and wrong, there is a garden. I will meet you there" – Rumi. Hidden under the shade of the trees, you walked along a gravel path that led to two glamping tents. One of the tents was furnished with floor cushions, rugs, and blankets, while the scent of incense spread through the tent. A place where you could escape the hectic pace of the festival and just be. The other glamping tent invited the public to participate in a series of free classes, from meditation to yoga. An incredible place that created such a calm and sacred atmosphere.

Halmstad Art Of Living has breathed new life into Halmstad. We hope that this festival will return next year and become a permanent fixture in the city's annual events calendar!
