HIC Tour of Rådhuset
Upcoming events for autumn 2019:
And much more – details to follow!
Welcome to our first drop-in after the summer break! We’re available to help you with any questions you may have about living, working and studying in Helsingborg. You’re also very welcome to stop by, say “hi” and learn more about HIC.
Address: Drottninggatan 7A, 252 21 Helsingborg
Find us here!
On the last Tuesday of each month in term-time, you’ll find us at THINK Open Space, close to Campus Helsingborg, Mindpark and IKEA IT.
We’re taking our summer break now and will look forward to seeing you again in August!
Welcome to the last HIC event before the break, our Summer Picnic! Bring your own food, drink and something to sit on and enjoy a relaxed afternoon by the sea at Gröningen.
Close by are ice-cream & snack kiosks, children’s playground, sea bathing, mini-golf, basketball (and toilets!) so there’s plenty to keep little ones occupied. We’re looking forward to seeing you!
Meeting place: Gröningen, between Bunker Bar and the fixed BBQ to the south of it.
During our events we sometimes take photographs and short videos to share on the HIC website and social media. If you prefer not to be in any photos or videos, please let us know at the beginning of the event. Thank you!

Join Sheila for a few hours of landscape drawing in Helsingborg. This is a taster session for all levels, whether you are trying out sketching for the first time, or have previous experience. The group will be limited to 10 people. You are welcome to bring a picnic lunch, and a bottle of water & something to sit on would be advisable too.
Please bring your own sketch pad and pencils. Sheila recommends you bring an A4 sketch pad of good quality paper (Akademibokhandlen has a very good selection, with cheaper options at Flying Tiger) and either 2B or 4B pencils (not HB).
This session can be followed up by a visit to Painter’s Week at Sofiero (29 July-4 August), when entrance is free for those entering with art materials!
Meeting place: Bruket kaffebar, Bruksgatan 9, 252 23 Helsingborg. The owner has been kind enough to let us meet up here for an initial chat and getting to know each other, please buy your own coffee there.
Cost: 60 SEK (refundable up to 7 days in advance)

With the help of our willing volunteers, we have started a new programme called HIC Excursions! These are more casual, volunteer-led meet-ups where HIC friends get together to attend a local event or take part in an activity.
Our third HIC Excursion will be a visit to Fredriksdal Museum and Botanical Garden to enjoy the National Day celebrations. Graham Keating will be the event lead on this occasion and will meet you to the left of the main entrance gate at 10:30.
Upon arrival, the group will have a walk around the grounds together and then return to the main museum buildings and performance areas. You will have the opportunity to enjoy different events throughout the day, such as traditional songs, dances, concerts, demonstrations and exhibitions, or explore further by yourself.
Admission is free on National Day. You are welcome to bring a picnic!
Please sign up on the Eventbrite form as usual. Welcome!

We’re proud to announce that HIC has been able to arrange a guided tour in English of Helsingborg’s iconic town hall. Our tour guide will be Lena Bjerne, Vice-Chair of the council, so we can expect an informative and interesting visit! Join us as we learn all about the famous building, find out what takes place there and read the history of Helsingborg in its beautiful stained glass windows.
This is also one of Rådhuset’s Open Days so there will be time to look around further after the tour if you would like to.
