On the last day of April, Sweden celebrates its traditional Walpurgis, but what does that actually mean?
Come and listen to an exciting lecture about the origins of Walpurgis – from ancient Norse spring rituals to today’s choral singing, bonfires, and student traditions.
The lecture is open to students and staff and will be held in English. No registration required.
Welcome to lecture hall D24 on 31 March!
