Culture & entertainment, Hvaler Guest House

Eleven offers are nailed down in the first section of SommerfestiValer, which runs from 12 July to 3 August. And there are well-known and solid Norwegian names who will be in the tent and entertain, and three combinations will take place on the Plenen from 24 to 28 July.

– We don’t need to reinvent the wheel. We want to give our guests a summery experience, and make no secret of the fact that we are targeting the 30 plus market, says the host.

The host watched “The Voice” and called mentor Espen Lind

He elaborates a little: – We want to offer local food, and many people want both that and accommodation with a top-shelf musical experience in the same package.

– The package is not completely packed either. We have a little more to offer in volume two.

ARCHIVE VIDEO: Here Magnus Grønneberg sings on Allsang på grensen:

– But if you look at the list throughout the summer, are there well-known names who have visited before?

– That’s right, and the answer is simple: We want them, and they want to come to us. For some artists, the parting remark is often “we’ll talk next year”. And the following year we just pick up where we left off the year before. In any case, this is how we used to deal with Bjørn Eidsvåg, chuckles Elgheim.

Because the archipelago hotel is no bigger than that returning artists know where to stay, where the wardrobe is and where the coffee is.
