Winter break begins on Thursday

Winter break. A favorite time for many. Yes, the time arrives later this week. Winter break is in the elementary schools and the Hafnarfjörður School of Music on Thursday, February 19, and Friday, February 20. Monday, February 23, is then a joint planning day for preschools and elementary schools.

Many people travel. Others enjoy staying at home. And then there is the chance to make use of our excellent museums and swimming pools here in the health town of Hafnarfjörður. Visit the Bandington Society’s open house – and much more.

All events during the winter break in Hafnarfjörður are free – free entry all day to Ásvallalaug and the Hafnarfjörður Swimming Hall. But keep in mind:

• Suðurbæjarlaug will be closed on Thursday, February 19, due to maintenance. The electrical panel will be replaced.
• Ásvallalaug will be closed on Friday, February 20, due to maintenance. The slides and hallways will be painted.

But there will be fun in the pools. Water balls will be in Ásvallalaug from 14:00 to 16:00 on Thursday. It’s the perfect chance to come and try running around inside a ball on the water. Then the fun moves to Suðurbæjarlaug from 13:00 to 16:00 on Friday. The mushroom fountain will be running. Games, balls and noodles in the mushroom and the snake.

Yes, the program for the winter break in Hafnarfjörður is lively. Flower arranging will take place in Hafnarborg on Thursday. There will also be a Skrípó workshop on Friday and a Pokémon workshop at the library. On Monday there will be a crafting hour at the library and a telescope workshop at the local museum.

Yes, it is possible to enjoy togetherness and good times in Hafnarfjörður during the winter break.
