What's On: 9-15 June
A quick look at this week’s events and a discount code you won’t want to miss!
Lovely people!
I have literally zero time this week to send this newsletter out (it’s already late, if you’ve noticed. Sorry!). Life’s a bit hectic, and I’m running purely on iced coffee. So this edition will be short; just a quick roundup, because I didn’t want to leave you guys out of the loop, so to speak :) There’s also a discount code for one of the events down there, but luckily this week’s newsletter is really short, so you won’t have to scroll too far :P
BTW! If you find this newsletter useful, feel free to tell your friends (or your co-worker who keeps saying there’s nothing to do in Copenhagen).
Alright, let’s jump right in:

Reader Perk Alert!
Silvers: Dinners & Experiences with Danish Seniors
Silvers is a platform connecting visitors and locals with senior Danes who open their homes for intimate dinners and workshops. The idea is simple: to share senior knowledge and create space for human connection. It’s all about real conversation, homemade food, and cultural stories you won’t find in any guidebook.
This June, join dinners in a tiny house in Christiania, a collective community in Roskilde, or go sailing with Niels and hear stories from a life at sea (+ many more experiences!).
If you use it give @denmarkhappenings and @silverscph a follow on Instagram.
Here’s the code: JUNE10
That’s it from this week!
I also share extra events throughout the week on the Denmark Happenings Instagram — little gems that don’t make it into the newsletter. I’d appreciate it if you give it a follow!
PS. Got an event you think should be on here or on Instagram? Just shoot me a message — I’d love to hear from you.
