HUSET Middelfart is a conference centre and hotel on Funen, Denmark, built for seminars, courses, conferences, trade shows and company parties. It has a hall with a podium for 200 people, more than 20 further meeting rooms, 70 bedrooms and a restaurant that seats up to 230 guests. It stands on the Hindsgavl peninsula near Middelfart, about 10 minutes by car from the E20 motorway. The centre has operated since 1968.
Seminars and company events
HUSET was designed as a conference centre, and its meeting rooms are named after well-known architects. The centre lists 14 small meeting rooms, 8 mid-size meeting and conference rooms and one large conference hall with a podium for 200 people. Rooms can be rearranged for the event, and most have an exit or a view to green areas. Small rooms work as group rooms next to a plenary session.
Every client has the whole house at its disposal. Breaks can happen in the atrium garden, on the terrace, in lounge areas or in the basement, which has billiards and table football. A coffee and water bar serves coffee, tea and still and sparkling water throughout the day. A personal meeting planner follows each booking, and technician service is available around the clock.
For team events, HUSET works with GoTeam and Team Battle, which run a mobile escape room and laser clay shooting on site, and with a local nature guide for walks in Hindsgavl Dyrehave.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages present company parties, Christmas lunches, confirmations and private parties, not weddings. The main party room is the restaurant, which seats up to 230 guests; the site also gives 180 for the same room. A dance floor can be set up in the evening. A smaller fireplace room is available for smaller groups, and welcome drinks can be served in the atrium courtyard, on the terrace or in the café and bar.
Rooms and capacities
The site gives capacities by category. The conference hall with a podium holds 200 people. Another page lists meeting rooms for up to 12, plenary rooms for up to 84 and conference rooms for up to 320, and these figures are not consistent with the hall figure, so organisers should ask for the room plan.
Accommodation
The hotel has 70 single and double rooms, all with a direct exit to green areas. Rooms have a flat-screen television, a desk, a hairdryer and soap. A morning buffet is served in the panorama restaurant.
Catering
The kitchen works with local and organic ingredients and holds the Bronze Organic Food Mark, with 30 to 60 percent of servings organic. It serves lunch buffets with many vegetables, evening menus and the morning buffet. The food and beverage manager is a sommelier, and a wine room in the café welcomes guests, including for welcome drinks. Menus for parties include tapas, a grill buffet, a full-evening menu or a custom menu.
History and setting
The building dates from 1968 and was designed by architects as a course and conference centre. The atrium garden follows a geometric planting plan by the garden architect C. Th. Sørensen. The terrace looks out over Hindsgavl Dyrehave, where more than 350 red, fallow and other deer live. The beech forest Øksenradeskoven lies on the other side, and the water of the Little Belt is a five-minute walk away. HUSET holds the Green Key environmental label.
Getting there
The centre is about 10 minutes by car from the E20, and Middelfart station is within walking distance. Parking is free and there is EV charging on site.
