Ultima Children’s Day (BUD)

Practical Information for making the most of BUD:

• Spend time together: Don’t try to fit everything into one go! There’s a lot happening throughout the afternoon, so focus on the activities your child is most interested in. Arrive early! Many activities have limited space, and it's first come, first served.
• Food and Drink: At the top of the Marmortrappen (staircase) on the 3rd floor, there is a special BUD kiosk with muffins, sausages, and other child-friendly food and drinks. You can also eat at the Sentralen café.
• Strollers: There is parking for strollers outside the main entrance. Sleeping babies in strollers can be brought into the Winter Garden. We recommend baby carriers/slings for babies being carried around the building.
• Nursing Room: On the 3rd floor, past the BIT20 composition workshop, there is a quiet room reserved for babies (and their parents) or those who want to nurse in a peaceful place. Ask the staff if you need help finding it.
• Rest Room: Past Galleriet (The Gallery) on the 4+ floor, there is a quiet room with drawing materials for those who need a break between performances and workshops.
• Create your own Ultima merch: Bring an old t-shirt, hoodie, or any other piece of clothing you're tired of, and give it new life with one of this year's Ultima designs. We'll apply the design using our heat press!

NB: The performances start precisely at 12, and there may be a queue in the entrance area, so we encourage you to arrive early.
