Explore The east coast

During Svaneke Market Days, the town square comes alive with local stalls and a warm market atmosphere. Here you can explore Bornholm products, crafts, plants, jewellery, ceramics, knitwear, honey and much more.

The market days are also a great opportunity to take a relaxed walk through Svaneke, enjoy the town’s beautiful streets, visit shops and galleries, and experience the special summer atmosphere that makes the town one of Bornholm’s most charming places. There is often music and small festive features on the square, helping to create a lively and relaxed atmosphere in the heart of the town.

Get ready for laughs, suspense and chicken bingo in Brænderigænget, when Svaneke’s hens enter the arena and the lucky poop numbers of the day are about to be found.

This is not about fast legs or impressive performance – it is about patience, good timing and a hen with just the right gut feeling. The audience follows closely while everyone waits for the decisive dropping, with plenty of laughter, comments from the sidelines and genuine Svaneke atmosphere along the way.

Chicken Poop Bingo has been a regular part of summer in Svaneke for many years, bringing together locals, holidaymakers and curious passers-by for one of the island’s quirkiest experiences. The action takes place in Brænderigænget every Wednesday at 18:00 and every Saturday at 13:00 from June through August. Tickets are normally sold from one hour before the start.

The proceeds help support music and local activities in Svaneke – so you can join the game, enjoy the fun and support the town’s summer life at the same time.
