Danish Fastelavn

Bring your carnival clothes and join our colourful fastelavn feast on Sunday 11 February, 10 AM to 3 PM. There will be a make-up station, the well-known bashing of barrels and lots of circus.

In the creative workshop at the museum, you can let imagination run free and give your costume the finishing touches with a hat or an amazing mask. In the workshop, there will also be a make-up station, where you can become a funny clown or beautiful princess, when the expertly trained make-up artists take to their brushes. The workshop is open between 10 AM and 2 PM, free of charge.

At 11 AM and 2 PM, the youth circus group Circus Arcus invite you to be amazed in Fægtesalen. Experience the talented kids and young adults showing off their exquisite skills in aereal stunts and more grounded acts on the stage floor. Both shows are free of charge.

At 1 PM, the bashing of the barrels commences for all age-groups. There will be crowns for every cat-king and cat-queen. All children who join in the barrel-bashing will get a bag of candy.

When you can’t stand being hungry anymore, come into our cozy café and order a toast, snacks or enjoy one of our beverage alternatives.

As you can see, there is plenty to do and experience on Fastelavn at the Circus Museum.

All activities are free of charge on this special day, and you do not need to register.

The event is sponsored by Grundejerforeningen Avedørelejren and Hyundai Hvidovre.
