The very last concert of the year, and on this occasion, let us celebrate our very own Johnny Madsen. It will be an evening full of Johnny's well-known songs performed by these two talented musicians.

There will be an opportunity to come early and have a bite to eat, as we open the doors already at 6:00 PM.
A perfect chance to meet up with good friends, colleagues, or just the one you like best, and we will provide the setting for the coziest evening here in the house.

There will also be an opportunity to sign up for carpooling when you need to go home, and we will arrange some external transportation for you.

Christmas Lunch at Slusen

This is an event served in 3 courses at the table. The cold, the warm and then the dessert. Completely traditional and delicious for Christmas

21NOV26

Signe Svendsen Solo visits Slusen Højer on November 21st – and we can hardly wait!

With critical acclaim behind her and her special ability to captivate the audience with presence and surprising stories, Signe Svendsen is going on a very special solo tour in 2026. Audiences across the country can look forward to a beautiful mix of beloved songs from her back catalog and brand new material from the upcoming album ‘Alt Det Vi Gør For Ikke At Dø’ (All That We Do To Not Die), which will be released in January 2026.

“Going completely alone on stage is in many ways the purest concert format. It’s a kind of contract with the audience that allows for vulnerability and immediacy – no two evenings are the same, and it is very much something we create together, the audience and I. I really love it and look forward to seeing what the new songs can do in this format.”

The new songs have sprung from an existential thought about what it is that keeps us alive as human beings. Our relationships, worries, and efforts in an unsettled world are given a poetic and intimate language in Signe’s songs, which capture the straightforward and the incomprehensible with a noticeable ease.

Signe Svendsen’s concerts connect the intimate with the grand in songs about destinies, love, doubt – all that we share and have in common. The audience can look forward to sitting right at the edge of their seats for heart-wrenching and laughter-inducing stories in encounters with songs about love, doubt, and fate.
As you know, Slusen is a small and intimate venue with only a few dining seats, so you get as close to the stage as almost possible.

Have a lovely day

(No returns after payment and reservations are binding.)

P.S. We are also happy to assist with accommodation in our lovely area here by the Wadden Sea.

Every spring and autumn, as the sun sets over the vast wetlands in and around Southwest Denmark's Wadden Sea National Park, a whole 1.5 million migrating starlings gather together in an apparently spontaneous wave-like dance. As the birds flock together in the air, they form cloud-like shapes so dark and dense that they have earned their own local name: Black Sun.

We have created the most wonderful Black Sun tour for you, if you are visiting our area in the spring or autumn.
We start by meeting at Slusevej 10, where there is an opportunity to have coffee and cake beforehand. We recommend the South Jutland bread tart, and you can also order one of our delicious soups to take with you on the tour, which you can enjoy while watching the beautiful Black Sun dance in the sky.
The nature guide will narrate the entire way from start to finish.

Remember to bring plenty of warm clothing, and possibly some blankets.

This tour costs 255 DKK. We keep to small groups so the experience becomes more intense and there is room for all the questions that may arise during this lovely afternoon and evening.

Gastronomic seaweed tour – from Wadden Sea to plate!

Join us for a sensory and educational experience in nature, where we dive into the fascinating world of seaweed!
We start by exploring along the coast and learn to recognize different types of seaweed – and not least their many properties and uses in the kitchen. Along the way, we talk about sustainability, flavor, and how seaweed can be an exciting part of the food of the future.
After the collection, we gather and prepare a delicious meal together, where seaweed is used in various ways. Here you get the opportunity to work with the ingredients both individually and together and discover new taste experiences.

An experience for both curious food and nature lovers!

Steffen Lydiksen is the man behind it all and knows everything about seaweed and its properties… and he will, not least, explain it to you in genuine South Jutlandic dialect.

Every morning you have the opportunity to join a local authentic guided tour, where the topics vary depending on who is guiding that afternoon. In addition to the common knowledge about the Lock, the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea, and life here at the Vidå Lock, some guides will add something extra to the tour in the form of extensive knowledge about the construction of the Lock and the Lock Tower, others with the grand story of the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea, its culture and history, some about the Marshland boats, and others with a great passion for the birdlife here at the Lock.
