Agder Theater
One of the more unusual cultural experiences in Grimstad is run by Kristiansand-based Agder Theater, which performs in an old quarry up to six days a week in summer. After a hiatus in 2007 the troupe was due to return to performing in 2008; the tourist office has a programme of upcoming performances. The quarry, 4km north of town, became infamous during WWII when red granite blocks for Hitler’s ‘Victory Monument’ were taken from here; the monument was, of course, never built.

Frk Larsen
Our favourite drinking hole in Kristiansand, this trendy place has retro-chic fusion décor, a mellow ambience by day and late-night music for an ‘in’ crowd on weekend nights. The cocktail bar opens at 8pm.
