Sun 17 May 2026

is the annual bash for Norway's Constitution Day, or Syttende Mai if you're feeling precise, landing in Southwark Park on 17 May 2026. Expect a procession that wanders through the park with folks in traditional bunads or whatever festive getup they've rustled up, plus live music that might get your feet tapping, food stalls slinging hot dogs and ice cream, and a smattering of Norwegian vendors peddling their wares. There are kids' activities to keep the little ones occupied and speeches for those who enjoy a bit of history with their sausages.

It's open to anyone remotely curious about Norwegian culture, from London-based Norwegians and the broader Scandinavian crowd to complete newcomers, drawing hundreds of families each year. The 17 Committee keeps the whole thing ticking over smoothly in Southwark Park, London SE16, so no excuses for missing out if you're within driving distance.
