Would you like to be part of the Christmas Village this year? The selection is from the submitted applications.
The Christmas Village will feature around twenty decorated modular houses, each measuring 5.8 m². The sales units in the Hafnarfjörður Christmas Village have been popular in recent years, and applications are therefore selected based on a number of specific criteria. The Christmas Village opens on Friday, 17th November and will be open throughout Advent on Fridays from 17:00 to 20:00, Saturdays and Sundays from 13:00 to 18:00, and until 21:00 on Christmas Eve. The rental fee for a stall is 19,000 kr. for the weekend. Included in the rental fee are all costs for set-up, running the stall, and cleaning the area. In addition, the City of Hafnarfjörður will promote the Christmas Village in various ways to attract visitors.
With regard to sales, sellers must comply with any applicable laws and regulations. If a product or product category is in any way conditional or subject to the granting of a licence, the seller must make themselves aware of this and obtain the relevant licence. This applies, for example, to the sale of food, drinks, alcoholic beverages and other products that may be subject to regulation. Sellers are also encouraged to check whether and what insurance may be appropriate, where applicable. The location of the Christmas chalets is regularly reviewed, and the placement of individual sellers is adjusted accordingly to ensure the best possible arrangement.
Application deadline: 17 October 2023
Applicants must submit an application for a house in the Christmas Village. Applications are open until 17 October 2023, after which new applications will be placed on a waiting list. Enquiries can be sent to jolathorp@hafnarfjordur.is
