April 11th: Concert and dinner at Rama Festival

April 25th: Minigolf

Or are you just here for the chaos of missing every shot — or even sending the ball straight off the course? ⛳ Either way, join us for a relaxed and fun afternoon of minigolf. Expect a bit of friendly competition, good company, and just the right amount of mental geometry to calculate those perfect angles.
When? Saturday 25th April at 14.00 and we continue until the games are over. If the weather is nice, we can continue afterwards to grab ice cream and/or drinks together in the city.
Where? Camping Aaen (https://maps.app.goo.gl/zTDW6qyTb7QiS7Ma7)
