King and Queen arrived in Visby during the morning and then ate lunch at the residence where the governor Cecilia Schelin Seidegård hosted. Then saw the King and Queen musical Swedish Villagers at the County Theater.

The show Swedish Villagers - The sky our roof earth our floor is based on the true story of Swedish villagers who in 1782 was sent from Hiiumaa in Estonia to the south of Ukraine where they would grow up areas recently wrested from Turkey. The story follows the two girls Nelly and Alvina (played by Anna Jankert and Martyna Lisowska) who move from village Gammalsvenskby to Sweden in 1929.
