Ole Dalen and his Christmas concerts are a fervently-supported tradition in Trondheim, which for many mark the start of the festive feeling. Palmehaven is the proud venue for this year's shows, a comeback for Ole Dalen.

During the last week before Christmas, 17th to Thursday 20st December, Palmehaven will be decked out for several 'Julekonserter' (Christmas concerts). The shows start at 9pm and tickets can be requested directly from Ole Dalen himself. True to tradition, the artists for the evening and the programme will remain a well-kept secret right up until the show, with many well-known national and local names expected. Ticket requests to be sent to oledalen@mac.com.

The hotel's restaurants and bars welcome you to dine and drink with them before the concert. Book early to secure a table in Brasserie Britannia, Jonathan Grill, Vinbaren or Britannia Bar.
