Sommer på Sentralen is our own, free event program for children and families with children. Summer at Sentralen takes place over 9 weekends. Every Saturday and Sunday from 21 June to 16 August, children can enjoy free activities and entertainment.
The events and activities will take place on Øvre Slottsgate outside the main entrance to Sentralen from 11:00 - 15:00. If the weather is bad, everything will be moved inside the building.
Every Saturday and Sunday at 1pm there is entertainment for children out in the street. In addition, there will be Peter Pan performances at 12:00 from July 15 to 20 and Roller Disco for the whole family on July 12 in Marmorsalen. Sentralen Kafe sets out its food stall, so that it will be possible to buy food, drinks and ice cream throughout the day.
Do you have any questions? Get in touch with us at post@sentralen.no. Read more and check out the full program for information on what happens when.
Sommer på Sentralen becomes part of Bysommer
This year is Sommer på Sentralen a proud part of Bysommer 2025 — a tribute to Oslo, the artist Lillebjørn Nilsen and his collaborator Helge Westbye, who for a number of years invited to the annual concert series Bysommer in the middle of the joint holiday.
Through free children's events during the community holiday, Sentralen helps to carry on the legacy of Lillebjørn and celebrate the city we love so much. We take part in the collaboration with SALT, which started the new concert series Bysommer last year (2024), with artists who — in true Little Bear spirit — love Oslo.
Barnas Sommerverksted every Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 — 15:00
Barnas Verksted is a regular, free weekend activity for children and families in Vinterhagen at Sentralen. Every Saturday and Sunday throughout the year, children can draw, paint, paste, color, build duplo, play and read books in the reading corner under the stairs.
During Summer at Sentralen, we move Barnas Verksted out into the street outside Sentralen, and call it Barnas Sommerverksted!
The workshop is open from 11:00 to 15:00, and you can come and go as you please.
Barnas Sommerverksted is best suited for children from 2 to 6 years old, but everyone is warmly welcome!
In the workshop there will be outdoor toys and drawing tables. Kids can play chess with large chess pieces, rock with rock rings, throw horseshoes, build with wooden toys, puzzle puzzles, blow soap bubbles and draw with chalk on the playhouse. Activities vary, but there is always something fun to come up with. At the drawing table, children can color the mascots of Sentralen or draw exactly what they want.
We have beach chairs that both parents and children can relax in.
Free entertainment for children every Saturday and Sunday at 13:00
In addition to Barnas Sommerverksted, there will be free entertainment every Saturday and Sunday at 1pm for the children out in the street.
There will be performances, concerts, circus shows, puppet shows and musical theater for the whole family.
