Where fairytales come to life.
On the outskirts of the small town of Vimmerby in Småland lies Astrid Lindgren's World inhabited by all the real-life and fictional characters Astrid Lindgren has written about in her close to one hundred different books.
Astrid Lindgren’s World is actually many worlds, all in one place. Walking around the park you pass well-known settings such as Cherry Tree Valley and Wild Rose and wouldn’t Valley. Not far away, but in a whole other world, you’ll discover Matt’s Fort. Walk on a little farther and there’s Villekulla Cottage. And on the way you’ll have probably already stopped at Karlsson’s Roof and Katthult. These are all settings taken from Astrid Lindgren’s stories. But 
of course they wouldn’t be nearly as exciting without the people who live there. What would Villekulla Cottage be without Pippi? Or Matt’s Fort without robbers?
Every day in these living settings, there are stage performances featuring scenes also taken from the books. What makes the performances extra special is that the audience can get right up close to the action, and sometimes even end up in the thick of it.
The new Matt´s fort is opening this summer. This is the fort that split in half with a great bang on the night when Ronja, the Robber´s daughter was born. It is surrounded by a thick forest and there is a lot of exciting rooms to explore in the fort. Ronja, the Robber´s daughter became the last of the great novels Astrid Lindgren wrote.
