Saga Musica in Eyrarbakki and beyond

Saga Musica is frequently performed for groups who book directly or through their hotels and travel agents. The show pairs exceptionally well with dinner, for example with our partners at Rauða Húsið Restaurant in Eyrarbakki.

The Old Freezing Plant

Eyrarbakki sports one of the many fish freezing plants that the ceaseless march of time has made obsolete. The rustic hall, where the catch of the day was once processed, now serves as a charming, beautifully ambient music and storytelling venue.

Rauða Húsið Restaurant

We often partner with our friends at Rauða Húsið, a phenomenal restaurant. In their Northern Hall on the top floor we set our stage for the evening — lit by candles and lamps in winter, and by the gorgeous midnight sun in summer.

Bakkastofa Culture House

Ásta & Valgeir

Bakkastofa is the residence of the artists Ásta and Valgeir. They also use it as a venue for small, hand-picked groups (max 18) to enjoy their various cultural programmes.

The warm and welcoming style appeals to visitors, who easily relate to the relaxed vibe. During music performances and storytelling sessions the emphasis is on an interactive, casual atmosphere where questions and discussion are welcomed.

The village of Eyrarbakki is a quiet, ocean-side village where many artists like to retreat and work. It lies in an area where some of the most important Sagas took place.

Other places of interest

We can also arrange visits to Eyrarbakki's gems: our beautiful church with its magnificent acoustics; Húsið Museum, where the legacy of Ásta's great-great-grandparents is preserved; the village's two fine restaurants; and of course the village itself and its surrounding nature.
