Come make memories (and maybe a playlist) with us

Program Details

🌿 CG is a one-of-a-kind cultural guesthouse and micro-event space located in a restored 1928 village hall in Hardanger, Norway. We’re a small, family-run passion project blending music, hospitality, and sustainability. As a Worldpacker, you become part of our creative team, helping us bring events to life, host guests, and maintain the cozy, welcoming vibe that makes the venue special.

Volunteers collaborate directly with us and are encouraged to contribute creatively — whether you're good at organizing, decorating, cooking, filming, or just being a friendly face. This is a great opportunity to experience cultural life in rural Norway while learning about reuse, hosting, and slow living.

Activities & Shift

Your tasks will vary depending on what’s happening that week, but may include:

Event prep & hosting (setting up for concerts, workshops, tastings, etc.)

Creative upcycling (decorating, DIY projects, styling spaces)

Cleaning & organization (light tidying, helping with common areas)

Outdoor tasks (watering plants, sweeping, helping with seasonal activities)

🕐 Shifts are flexible. Some days are busy with events, others are slower and allow more free time. We will adapt to your skills and energy.

You’ll have time to relax, explore the fjords, swim, hike, or just enjoy life in a peaceful village surrounded by nature.

Rules

To keep things running smoothly and enjoyable for everyone, we ask that you:

Show up with a positive, respectful attitude

Be open to varied tasks, even if things change day-to-day

Keep common areas clean and help maintain the cozy vibe

Respect the quiet nature of the village – no loud noise late at night

No hard drugs or heavy partying – we love fun, but in moderation

Communicate clearly if you feel unwell, tired, or unsure about a task

Be curious, kind, and open to cultural exchange!
