Saturday morning celebrations in Cardiff of Norwegian national day 2025

We will celebrate Norway’s National Day in Cardiff again this year and, as it will be a Saturday, we will do so in the morning, in the more typical Norwegian fashion.

Meet at the Wales Millennium Centre at 10.15 and join us on a red, white and blue procession to the Norwegian Church, where we’ll raise the flag, sing the national anthems, and lay a wreath to remember the fallen.

There’ll be music from the church’s resident string ensemble, the Vita Quartet, and Norwegian food and cakes and, of course, coffee, lots of it.

Upstairs in the gallery there will also be a fascinating new exhibition opening and curated by the Norwegian Church Arts Centre’s Heritage team – The Legacy of Prosperity: Exploring Cardiff Docks’ Industrial and Economic Heritage.

17 May is one of the high points of our social calendar and is a great chance to meet with other Norwegians, Norwegian speakers, and friends of Norwegian language and culture.

All are more than welcome! No tickets or booking are required.
