It's another double episode today from RÚV English Radio.

First, we look ahead to Monday, Sovereignty Day in Iceland. On that day 107 years ago, Iceland was officially recognised by Denmark as a sovereign nation. Árbær Open Air Museum and various Icelandic cultural associations invite you to join the festivities (https://borgarsogusafn.is/en/events/1-des-a-arbaejarsafni-670636). It's all free!

Darren speaks to chair of the Icelandic Handicraft Association, Kristín Vala Breiðfjörð.

Then, Reykjavík's status as surely the world's greatest Christmas city moves into top gear this weekend. Guðmundur Birgir Halldórsson, Event Manager at Reykjavík City, guides Darren through tomorrow (https://reykjavik.is/en/my-reykjavik/events#/event/670724) and Sunday, and into December.
