The council holds an activity fair at the Kulturhus on 27 August

Longyearbyen lokalstyre (the local council) invites everyone to the Activity Fair (Aktivitetsmesse) at Longyearbyen Kulturhus on Thursday 27 August, 18:00 to 20:00.

The town's voluntary organisations, teams and associations gather there to show their activities and inspire new members to take part.

The fair is for those looking for a new hobby, wanting to get involved as a volunteer or wanting to get to know the activities on offer in Longyearbyen.

This year the fair is held on Thursday 27 August, 18:00 to 20:00, at the Kulturhus. The event is usually held in Svalbardhallen, but because of rehabilitation work this year's fair has been moved to Longyearbyen Kulturhus.

During the evening, visitors can visit the stands of the town's many voluntary organisations, teams and associations. There they can hear more about the activities offered and perhaps find their next leisure engagement. Whether visitors are new to Longyearbyen or have lived here for a long time, the council describes the Activity Fair as a good opportunity to discover what Longyearbyen has to offer.

All voluntary organisations, teams and associations are invited to take part with their own stand. The council asks those who want to take part to contact Helle Jakobsen for registration and practical information.

The council welcomes everyone to an evening that shows the breadth and diversity of Longyearbyen's organisational life.

Time: Thursday 27 August, 18:00 to 20:00. Venue: Longyearbyen Kulturhus.

The council welcomes everyone.
