Family Shrovetide 

Adult fee 12 €
Discount fee 10 €
Family fee 25 €

Shrove Tuesday is the eve of the first day of Lent. This is the last day when you can still eat some fatty pig trotters and have as much fun as you like! Make sure to sledge or ski down the slope for good luck with next year’s linen harvest, which symbolises prosperity: the farther you go, the better it will be. The Estonian Open Air Museum is waiting for you to sledge, ski, play Shrovetide games and make spinners of pig trotter bones. Come to the museum to celebrate!


  • Traditional activities on our farms from 11:00 to 16:00
  • Winter season ticket valid for entry
The event is free to attend with a museum card, Tallinn Card, or an Estonian Open Air Museum annual pass!
