Alonsohuset – Open garden

Alonsohuset is set in peaceful countryside surroundings, around four kilometres from the centre of Sandefjord. It combines an inspiration garden, a small shop filled with vintage and second-hand finds, and a cultural venue hosting concerts and other events throughout the year.

Vintage finds and local products
The charming shop offers antiques, vintage objects, redesigned items and second-hand treasures. Look out for a missing cup from an old dinner set, a distinctive vase or a handmade product from a small business. You will also find locally made goods, including products from Crema Kaffebrenneri and Knatten Frukthage.

A garden full of ideas
Alonsohuset's private garden is open to visitors during regular opening hours. Wander along gravel paths past greenhouses, a kitchen garden, planted pots and little garden spaces. The garden is constantly evolving, combining plants, reused objects and rustic details.
Relax in the courtyard with a drink and you might meet the resident hens and cats. Guided garden tours for groups can also be arranged in advance.

Culture in the old farmhouse setting
Throughout the year, Alonsohuset hosts concerts, talks, markets and other cultural events. Summer concerts are held outdoors, while indoor performances take place during the rest of the year. Event tickets are available through links on the Alonsohuset website.
The fireside room can also be hired for meetings and private gatherings.

Opening hours and visiting information
From September 2026 to May 2027, Alonsohuset is open on Sundays from noon to 3 pm. Entry to the garden, courtyard and shop is free during regular opening hours. Some events require tickets.

Parking is limited, but buses 138 and 163 stop at Alonso, just outside. The garden has gravel paths and some steps, while the shop has narrow passages and door thresholds. There is no wheelchair-accessible toilet.
