Arena Skövde is a versatile multi-facility where you can exercise, swim, and unwind all conveniently under one roof. Beyond recreational amenities, Arena Skövde transforms into a dynamic arena suitable for elite-level sports, international championships, concerts, fairs, and bowling.

Interested in culture? Then you are in the right place! Skövde was the first town in Sweden to have a real Cultural Centre that assembles a theatre, an art gallery, a museum of art, a library, and a cinema. At the theatre, for example, you can see anything from local productions to beloved Swedish artists, comedians, and international guests.

Once a private collection, this free museum is divided in to 3 separate rooms with over 130 exhibits, ranging from the 5th century BC to the 20th century.

The Carnival is a lively party at which everyone is welcome. Attendees typically don disguises and masks, and the streets fill with groups of chirigotas, comparsas, or a special type of murga that is indigenous to Bornos. Two weeks before the party, the Peña Carnavalesca de Bornos organizes the "Morcillá Popular". Beer and blood sausage can be tasted for free while the groups participating in the party present their songs. A provincial contest is held every year in the auditorium of the Corpus Christi Convent. Groups from the whole area participate. In any act of the contest you can enjoy an atmosphere of genius and magic. Carnival takes place on the second weekend in the so-called Domingo de Piñata. A parade and costume contest mark the day.
