Memories forged at gatherings past — from Midsommar feasts to Walpurgis bonfires.
About The Club
Founded in 2007 over a single pint of dark lager and a shared bout of homesickness, the Thorsday Club has grown into something far grander than its founders ever imagined. We are Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Finns, Germans, Icelanders, and Austrians — scattered by careers, love, and adventure — who gather every Thursday to keep the flame of northern culture alive.
The name honours both our Germanic heritage and the simple fact that Thursday — Þōnresdæg, Thor's day — is the finest evening of the week. Not a weekend when everyone is busy with obligations, but that sweet Thursday when the week is nearly won and the mead flows freely.
What We Do
We meet weekly at rotating venues — pubs, beer gardens, members' homes — to share news from our homelands, debate football and politics, swap tips on navigating life abroad, and occasionally attempt to explain the concept of hygge to bemused locals. Monthly events include film nights, cookbook swaps, language tables, and our famous Midsommar gathering.
Membership
Membership is open to anyone with Nordic or Germanic roots, or anyone who has spent significant time in those countries and caught the bug. Partners, friends, and curious souls are always welcome. There are no fees, no formal rules — only the unwritten law that you must bring good stories and never arrive empty-handed.
The Code of the Hall
Speak plainly. Listen well. Help your fellow expatriate. Never waste good beer. These are the only laws we hold sacred in the Thorsday Club.
