Aquavit is hosting a traditional Swedish crayfish party outdoors with decorations, hats, bibs, schnapps and song booklets.
Generally held throughout August and September, the Swedish crayfish tradition (also know as ‘Kräftskiva’) started when restrictions on harvesting crayfish were introduced in the early 1900s and the delicacy became an exclusive and sought-after luxury. Today, the tradition lives on and is still one of the biggest celebrations in the Swedish calendar.
The crayfish feast celebration (on 13th September, 6.30pm to 9.30pm) is taking place outdoors (in St. James's Market) on two ling communal tables - with traditional decorations, hats, bibs and a traditional song booklet. Enjoy a lavish Nordic-inspired meal including limitless crayfish, alongside Västerbotten cheese tarts, dill mayonnaise, chips and a selection of aquavits. Tickets for Kräftpremiär are priced at £70, including two shots of aquavit and unlimited crayfish.
