Scandinavian Klubb of Lincolnshire

There have been Scandinavians in Lincolnshire dating back to the Viking invasions of the 9th century and many of the invaders settled here, as can been seen from the many Lincolnshire towns and villages which bear Scandinavian sounding names.

In the 1970’s some of the Scandinavians who lived in and around Lincoln got together and decided to try and revive some of the traditions of their homelands, and to give their children some idea of their heritage.

An informal Juletraesfest, to which Scandinavians throughout the county were invited, was held in Lincoln and this was so successful that it was decided to form a club where all interested Scandinavians could meet and get together, subsequently in February 1976 SKOL, (The Scandinavian Klubb of Lincolnshire) was founded.
