– Christmas lights, festive atmosphere and cosy wooden stalls at Nexø Harbour
As darkness settles over Nexø Harbour, the Christmas lights come on and the small wooden stalls fill with life, festive scents and the warm atmosphere of a Bornholm Christmas. Bornholm Christmas Market returns in 2026, bringing Christmas cheer to the harbour throughout the Advent season.
Wander among the decorated Christmas stalls, where local Bornholm producers, craftspeople, associations and other local contributors welcome visitors. Find inspiration for Christmas gifts, taste local treats and perhaps discover something a little different from what you would normally find beneath the Christmas tree.
But Bornholm Christmas Market is just as much about the atmosphere itself. The scent of Christmas, a warm drink held in cold hands, lights glowing in the winter darkness and that special feeling that comes when people gather and Christmas slowly draws closer.
The market spreads its Christmas cheer across 15 opening days from the end of November until 22 December. The four Advent weekends form the heart of the market, with different activities and experiences along the way, giving you plenty of reasons to visit more than once.
On Thursday, 10 December, Nexø becomes even more festive when Hjerternes Fest is celebrated together with the rest of the town.
Bring your family or friends, wrap up warmly and enjoy a December day at Nexø Harbour filled with Christmas lights, cosy stalls and plenty of Bornholm Christmas spirit.
Admission to Bornholm Christmas Market is free.

– Soul, UK jazz and the energy of instrumental hip-hop
Hailing from Aarhus, CLAPPER blend soul and UK jazz with the energy of instrumental hip-hop. The result is a musical world where rhythmic precision meets melodic freedom, driven by unconventional grooves, tempo changes and collective improvisation.
Since their debut album On Tempo (2023, Super Bad Disco / HHV) and the live release Under The Radar, the band have established themselves as a distinctive voice on the Scandinavian music scene. The band consists of Frederik Emil Bülow (drums), Adrian Christensen (bass), Jeppe Lavsen (guitar) and Malthe Jepsen (Rhodes and synth) – four accomplished musicians who also perform with bands such as Abekejser, Hvalfugl and İpek Yolu.
Their energetic live performances feature razor-sharp grooves, intense tempo changes and an infectious joy of playing together. Now they are coming to Svanekegaarden for a concert showcasing their new album With Friends.
With Friends is set for release on 6 November 2026 and expands CLAPPER's distinctive sound with contributions from an international line-up of guest artists, including Walter Smith III, Sanyu, Musina Ebobisse, Mathias Heise, Oilly Wallace, Ronja Rose Andersson and Jonas Due. Understandably, these guests will not be joining the concert, although several of them have performed at Svanekegaarden on previous occasions.
In true CLAPPER style, the album blends soul jazz with instrumental hip-hop and R&B, enriched by improvisations from some of today's finest musicians. From Walter Smith III's virtuoso saxophone solos and Sanyu's soulful vocals to Ronja Rose Andersson's atmospheric harmonies, each guest brings their own distinctive voice while remaining rooted in CLAPPER's collective sound.
“We've never been interested in fitting into any particular genre,” says guitarist Jeppe Lavsen. “The music comes from playing together, experimenting and trusting each other creatively. This album simply opened up the circle to friends we admire.”
As always, the quartet deliver dynamic arrangements, sharp rhythmic shifts and the electrifying live energy that has become one of the band's defining characteristics.
Politiken described a CLAPPER concert as “an almost perfect experience” and wrote that the band's music “engages both the mind and the heart”, while GAFFA observed that CLAPPER had proved that “a frontman is overrated”.
With Friends embraces precisely this spirit: less focus on the individual and more on connection, trust and shared musical creativity. This time, friendship takes centre stage.

Rockin' since 2006: Authentic 1950s and 1960s rock'n'roll – delivered with passion, energy and attitude.
Since 2006, The Heat-Makers have had one ambition: to bring the rock'n'roll of the 1950s and 1960s to life with authenticity and respect for the music. They pay tribute to legends such as Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Johnny Cash – not by copying them, but by capturing the energy, groove and chemistry that made their music timeless.
The band's signature sound is built around rich vocal harmonies and tight musicianship.
Black suits, polished patent leather shoes, sideburns and Brylcreem complete the experience – a timeless rock'n'roll look that takes the audience straight back to the golden age of rock'n'roll.

– Christmas lights, festive atmosphere and cosy wooden stalls at Nexø Harbour
As darkness settles over Nexø Harbour, the Christmas lights come on and the small wooden stalls fill with life, festive scents and the warm atmosphere of a Bornholm Christmas. Bornholm Christmas Market returns in 2026, bringing Christmas cheer to the harbour throughout the Advent season.
Wander among the decorated Christmas stalls, where local Bornholm producers, craftspeople, associations and other local contributors welcome visitors. Find inspiration for Christmas gifts, taste local treats and perhaps discover something a little different from what you would normally find beneath the Christmas tree.
But Bornholm Christmas Market is just as much about the atmosphere itself. The scent of Christmas, a warm drink held in cold hands, lights glowing in the winter darkness and that special feeling that comes when people gather and Christmas slowly draws closer.
The market spreads its Christmas cheer across 15 opening days from the end of November until 22 December. The four Advent weekends form the heart of the market, with different activities and experiences along the way, giving you plenty of reasons to visit more than once.
On Thursday, 10 December, Nexø becomes even more festive when Hjerternes Fest is celebrated together with the rest of the town.
Bring your family or friends, wrap up warmly and enjoy a December day at Nexø Harbour filled with Christmas lights, cosy stalls and plenty of Bornholm Christmas spirit.
Admission to Bornholm Christmas Market is free.
– Find your Christmas gifts
In 2026, Svaneke Torvefolk and their guests return to the charming Svanekegaarden for all four Advent weekends. You'll find jewellery, arts and crafts, concrete figures, knitwear and much more. Stop by and discover some lovely Christmas gifts!
There's Christmas cheer for everyone – children can explore the children's table and the red suitcases, perhaps find a book they'd like, while enjoying a cup of mulled wine and some traditional Danish æbleskiver (round pancake treats).
We hope to see you for some wonderful market days at Svanekegaarden!

– A magical Christmas story for the whole family
Mother Elf and Kanelia have come to visit, wish everyone a Merry Christmas and sing Christmas songs when suddenly Santa Claus calls Mother Elf's phone. He tells her that all the elves in the toy workshop have mysteriously frozen in their tracks, as if by magic. A mischievous Christmas spell has enchanted every single elf. Christmas will have to be cancelled. There will be no presents this year!
Overcome with sadness, Santa locks himself away in his creaky little room, and Mother Elf and Kanelia must spring into action. Mother Elf knows there's a cure for this terrible Christmas predicament – but she can't quite remember what it is. They're going to need some help!
