Værftet Times – The Little Things and the Big Stories from Stavern, Fredriksvern and Værftet

What’s happening in Stavern? Where can you find the cosiest restaurants, the best swimming spots and the most scenic walking trails? Who are the people bringing the town to life, and what stories are hidden within the historic walls and behind the ramparts of Fredriksvern Naval Base?

Welcome to Værftet Times!

A new publication sharing stories big and small from Stavern, the historic Fredriksvern Naval Base and Værftet. Here, we’ll keep you up to date with what’s happening, introduce you to the people and places that make our town special, and celebrate the experiences that give Norway’s little seaside gem its unique charm.

We’ll take you behind the scenes at Værftet, introducing you to the people in the spotlight and those working their magic behind the scenes. We’ll share news, stories and little glimpses of what goes into creating a new summer tradition at the historic Fredriksvern Naval Base.

But Værftet Times is about much more than music and events.

We want to show you Stavern as we know and love it. From welcoming restaurants and charming little shops to hidden swimming spots, beautiful walking trails and inspiring cultural experiences.

We’ll meet passionate locals, get to know artists and business owners, explore the town’s fascinating history and perhaps uncover a few stories you’ve never heard before.

There will be room for both the big stories and the little moments. The new and the traditional. What’s happening right now, and what has shaped Stavern into the town it is today, generation after generation.

Værftet Times aims to be a friendly companion for locals and visitors alike. A source of inspiration, useful tips and perhaps a few surprises along the way.

Above all, we want to capture and share the special feeling of Stavern – its people, its stories, its culture and all the wonderful things waiting to be discovered right on our doorstep.

And who knows? Perhaps one day, Værftet Times will even find its way into your hands in good old-fashioned print.

Happy reading – and welcome to Værftet Times!
