  • TRAVEL

    For you who are traveling to Side by Side!

    The locations for accommodation, food, rehearsals and concerts are all within walking distance of the Concert Hall (Konserthuset).

    FLIGHT

    The closest airport is Gothenburg Landvetter Airport.

     
    To get from the airport to the city we recommend the airport bus.

     
    In Gothenburg we recommend you leave the airport bus at stop “Korsvägen” and after that walk about 13min/950m to Hvitfeldtska Gymnasiet Norra, (Rektorsgatan 2) where you can check-in at the accommodation.

     

    If you are going straight to Konserthuset (the Concert Hall), you can disembark at "Berzeliigatan" and walk ca 4 min/270 m up the incline.

    TRAIN

    Nearest train station is Gothenburg Central Station.

    From there you can take several different buses and trams. Ticket may be bought at the store “Västtrafik”, "Resecentrum" or via the ToGo app. (Available in your app store.)

     

    For example, you can take tram number 7 towards Tynnered.

    Leave the tram at the stop “Kapellplatsen” and walk about 6min/400m to Hvitfeldtska gymnasiet Norra (Rektorsgatan 2) where you can check-in at the accommodation.

  • MEALS

    Each track's schedule shows which meals are included when. We work to reduce food waste and therefore some meals are only for our accommodation residents. This applies to most dinners. Which meals are for everyone and which are for residents only are shown in the tracs schedules that will be presented later this spring. Please note that dinner is not served on Friday 16/6.

     

    NB! It is important that only those who have registered a special diet take that food so there is enough for those who really need it.

    BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER

    Breakfast is only served for our accommodation.
    17-21 June in Hvitfeldtska Matsal at 07.00-09.00
    Sandwiches on 22 June at 08.00-09.00
     
    Lunch and dinner are served at both Hvitfeldtskas matsal and in Konserthuset. Where you are supposed to eat which meal will be noted in your schedule.

    broken image

    Side by Side is a” Kranmärkt” (tap certified) event. Meaning that we do not serve any water on bottle and instead provide our participants with a refillable bottle that you can refill at any water source. (Swedish tap water is drinkable.)

  • ACCOMMODATION

    For you who will be staying over with us!

     

    NB! If you can't or won't stay at camp, or if our accommodation is full, you can book External Housing.

    ACCOMMODATION & COMFORT

    Those of you who sleep over at camp must bring your own pillow and blanket/sheet or sleeping bag.

     

    NB! In 2023, we cannot offer mattresses. You must therefore bring your own mattress / sleeping mat. So that it doesn't get too crowded in the halls, it's great if you don't bring oversized inflatable mattresses.

     

    The overnight stay takes place in dormitories of approx. 20 people/room, with the exception of some halls. Smaller groups may share a room with another group. We take into account your wishes regarding the division of dormitories (for example gender-divided groups).

     

    There is a shared toilet in the corridors of the school.

     

    The accommodation cost includes breakfast and the meals marked Endast för boende (residents only) in the schedule.

    ACCOMMODATION SAFETY

    At the accommodation there are employed staff (host/boendevärd) on site around the clock. They have undergone fire protection training. Everyone, both employees and volunteers, receives information about the regular fire and evacuation regulations that apply at the schools.

     

    In each building, two employees are on site every night, one of whom is awake. During the day, there are also always two employees on site at the reception in each building. The classrooms are kept locked and the accommodation hosts will help you unlock them.

     

    We urge you to follow our fire prevention measures and accommodation rules. Keep classrooms and corridors clean and tidy, take rubbish from the rooms. Make sure all windows and doors are closed and locked when you leave the rooms. Side by Side is an alcohol and drug free camp. This also applies to the accommodation. Due to allergies among the participants, peanuts and nuts of any kind are prohibited at the accommodation. After 23 it must be quiet in the corridors and in the rooms. The front doors are locked between 22-07 and therefore everyone must stay inside between those hours.

     

    We are working to increase security and have increased the number of employees at the accommodation. Staff from security companies are on site around the clock. Despite that, we cannot guarantee that there will be no theft at the property. Side by Side has no theft insurance for residents, it must be covered by your own home insurance.
