About the workshop

Step up to the plate—not for baseball, but for Kubb, the classic Nordic lawn game that’s part strategy, part skill, and all fun. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll trade in bats and balls for dowels and paint as we build and decorate our own unique, handcrafted Kubb sets.

Never heard of Kubb? It’s a centuries-old Swedish game often described as a mix between bowling and horseshoes, where players toss wooden batons to knock over blocks (kubbs) and ultimately the “king” to win. It’s a backyard favorite across Scandinavia—and now, right here in Winona.

Held at the iconic Pillbox Bat Co., known for its handcrafted baseball bats, this workshop offers a playful shift from America’s pastime to one of the midwest’s finest. You’ll leave not only with your own one-of-a-kind game set, but also with a new way to enjoy the sunshine with friends and family for years to come.

All materials provided. No woodworking experience necessary—just bring your creativity and a spirit of play.
