Upcoming events
Concerts at the castle this year
Läckö Castle invites you to experience music in both a magnificent castle setting and an intimate castle hall. On Slottsbacken, overlooking Lake Vänern and the castle's silhouette, outdoor concerts are organised under the open sky - here you can enjoy music, something good in your glass and a relaxed summer evening. The concert area opens 1.5 hours before the concert starts. Inside the heart of the castle, in the unique King's Hall, magical moments are created during our music evenings. Here you have the opportunity to experience music in a historic setting where proximity to the artist creates a special presence.
In previous years, we have presented Läckö Sessions with artists such as Bo Kasper's Orchestra, Lena Philipsson and Benjamin Ingrosso, and collaborated with world guitarist Martin Fogel and Lidköping Music Festival. The programme includes everything from song festivals and comedy evenings to exclusive music and food packages.
Explore our calendar and find your next concert experience - outdoors or indoors, under the arches or the stars.
Things to consider before the concerts
Before the concerts, you need to book a ticket and plan your visit. Getting to Läckö by car requires some planning. The road is narrow and cannot accommodate many vehicles, and parking spaces for cars are limited. We therefore recommend that you arrive well before the event starts to secure a parking space. Explore our price lists, opening hours and other information that may be important to know before you visit us.
Stay overnight in the castle grounds
After the concerts, you can also stay overnight in the castle grounds. We recommend Victoriahuset, the nearby campsite or our cosy guest harbour just below the castle. Remember to book accommodation in time, as places are limited. At Victoriahuset, breakfast, private toilet and shower are also included. Here you can enjoy a good night's sleep after a busy day or evening at the castle.
