For instance, see how to make that classic Swedish Christmas decoration, the straw goat. There is also a shop where you can buy a wide range of beautiful straw products, as well as local crafts made of wood, pottery, iron and textile, and a coffee house with baked goods made on the premises. August 7 is Straw Day, celebrated every year on the first Sunday in August. On this day the House of Straw and the entire grounds are filled with straw craftspeople at work, who are happy to explain, demonstrate and even let you try your hand at the craft. In the cabins there are people who can tell you about the history of the cabins.
