Option 1 – FREE Accommodation
Accommodation in the dance center is free. Bring your own sleeping bag and something to sleep on. There are a few airbeds, but not enough for a big crowd. The standard is not 5 star, but all the basics are there: heat, showers and toilets, a kitchen and quite a few rooms and corners to make yourself comfortable in.
Please bring your own:
Adress: Gäddede Dance Center, Storgatan 31, Gäddede.
Option 2 – Inexpensive Accommodation (amazing deal!)
Arnold’s parents have a lovely hotel and it will be available at a special price for festival participants! You only need to pay the cost of electricity and maintenance. For 5 days, Wednesday – Sunday, the total price is only 400 SEK – in total!!! Amazing! However, you should know that it’s a bit far; 35 km away.
It’s a bit inconvenient but it’s a beautiful place. If you are driving or can rent a car, this is a great choice. The price of 400 SEK includes the room, shower, sauna and breakfast. You would need to bring your own bedding and help out with cleaning but that’s it. Pretty awesome.
They can host more than 30 people at their hotel. Since it might be difficult to find room for everyone in the village and maybe not everyone will enjoy staying on the floor in primitive conditions, this is a great and beautiful option. To book this accommodation, please contact Arnold directly: Arnold Westberg arnold.westberg@gmail.com +46706214140
Other Accommodation
If you prefer a higher standard, there is a hotel very close by called ”Pilgrimshotellet – South Lapland” http://pilgrimshotellet.se/ where you can book a room, a cottage or a flat and also a camp site, ”Gäddede Camping & Stugby” http://gaddedecamping.com/ with cottages and space for camper vans and trailers. It is quite a drive, but for people who are able to drive (or get lifts!!) and like a retreat to a picturesque environment, ”Jormliens Fjällgård” http://jormlien.utrymmet.com/ is an alternative.
Supermarket
Down the road, a block away from Gäddede Dance Center, is a supermarket. They sell, well, supermarketstuff.
Food
Arnold is going to repeat his great dead last year and cook all meals to the festival for free. Breakfast, lunch and dinner at Gäddede Dance Center. He is still literally hunting for food and will probably need the help of happy volunteers to make everything work. One big challenge is to estimate how much food that will be needed, so please register as soon as you know that you will come.
There are also places to buy food nearby, such as ”Restaurang o Pizzeria Gäddede”, serving very good pizza and ”Storgatan 38 Kök-Café-Bar-Pizza Gäddede” with plenty to choose from.
