Experience autumn's treasures when Den Fynske Landsby hosts Root Festival during the autumn holiday. This festival celebrates the important root vegetables that for centuries have been central to both our kitchens and cultural heritage – from traditional family gardens in the 1800s to modern sustainable cooking.
During the festival, you can actively participate in various activities: dig up your own potatoes directly from the field, or create an atmospheric turnip lantern to illuminate the autumn darkness. You are also welcome to follow along when the village's pigs are slaughtered on Tuesday – the butcher and farmers share their knowledge and explain the entire process.
Throughout the festival, you can explore the village's beautiful natural surroundings, painted in autumn's warm colours. It is an opportunity to get your hands dirty, find inspiration for how you can work with root vegetables at home, and experience the special sense of community that flourishes at Den Fynske Landsby during the autumn holiday.
Practical information: The programme varies from day to day, so check the calendar for specific activities during your visit. Root Festival takes place in connection with regular admission to Den Fynske Landsby.
