**Come and join us in celebrating our 5th anniversary! We invite you to a festive anniversary evening, where knitting needles, ABBA hits and community merge in Kulturhuset in Tønder. **
We celebrate five years of Masks i Marsken with an evening filled with knitting fun, tapas, bankospill and community singing. We invite you to discover your inner '70s icon — in glitter, sequins and Abba-inspired outfits, and together we let knitting needles dance, bank balls roll, and familiar hits fill the hall.
**Tonight's red thread is the community: **
We knit together, sing together and laugh together. The bank game will not just be a game — it will be a festive journey through the ABBA universe, where special numbers trigger music, community singing or small surprises. There are, of course, prizes along the way.
Our local rhythmic choir, VisVocal, is part of the programme — and you can look forward to an energetic ABBA concert where everyone can sing along.
The bar is open all evening and tapas are served at the tables so everyone can stay seated in their knitting communities.
Tapas:
- Bresaola with green pesto and Parmesan flakes
- Rosti with smoked ham and bearnaise sauce
- Salami Milano with Semidried Tomatoes and Artichoke Cream
- Garlic marinated shrimp with chili mayonaise
- Italian-inspired pate with chornichons
- Grilled tortilla with salmon rillette with lemon, dill and capers berries
- chili gouda with salted almonds
- brie with grapes
- olives, stuffed bell peppers and snack sausage;
- for this, crispbread chips with sea salt
Doors open at 6p
Masks, Marsh & Mindfulness
Knitting brings people together across the board in both physical and virtual communities, and this is exactly the community we want to create with Masks i Marsken. Masks in the Marsh is an event that will contribute to the narrative of the marshes and the Wadden Sea area. With Masks i Marsken we embrace an ancient craft with trends in needlework and lifestyle.
The festival will offer debates, lectures and workshops for both tanned knitters and novices. In addition, music, good food, inspiration and the opportunity to share the love and enthusiasm for crafts with others. Knit also brought the six women behind Masks in the Marsh together. Together they came up with the idea for a knitting festival, which will bring both experienced and new knitters together in new communities - combined with unique experiences in the marshes.
The Story Behind Masks in the Marsh
Kirsten and Marianne are friends and run businesses together — and Pia and Ellen are friends. Separately, the two pairs of friends went to Crete with the travel concept “Time to Calm” to get a little down in gear and have the opportunity to think new thoughts. Neither of us had thought we would have to think new with anyone other than the person we were travelling with, but Crete wanted us to do it differently.
We found that even though we didn't know each other beforehand, fate wanted our paths -- via acquaintances -- to have crossed each other anyway. It gave the ball up for new conversations, and when we found out that we had knitting and creativity in common, well, then suddenly it wasn't far from idea to action.
Since then, Mette and Tatjana have joined our initiative group — it's so good.
