Arena Himmerland in Støvring can host sports events, concerts, parties and large gatherings of up to about 1,500 guests, and offers meeting rooms for up to 70 participants. It is the newest of the three halls run by Arena Rebild in Rebild Municipality, North Jutland, and it has two large halls, a cafeteria and good parking.
Seminars and company events
The meeting rooms take up to 70 participants and sit next to the halls and the cafeteria. That makes the venue a fit for a company day that combines a plenary session with a larger event in the hall, such as a staff party, a trade show or a members' meeting. The site also shows a local retailers' association holding a fashion show in a hall of the Arena Rebild group several years in a row.
Weddings and receptions
The official site describes the halls as a frame for small and large parties and events, including private parties, confirmations and children's birthdays with a limited number of guests. Weddings are not named on the pages we read. The rooms can be adapted and decorated freely: in April 2013 the large hall was turned into a German beer festival with Tyrolean decoration, music, Viennese menu and costumed guests, and the venue has repeated it as an annual tradition.
Rooms and capacities
Arena Himmerland has two halls, described as about 2,000 square meters in total, and the hall pages give 1,500 square meters for each. Hall 1 has 200 spectator seats on benches and room for about 200 standing. Hall 2, the larger one, has a stand with 276 spectator seats and room for about 200 standing; the site also states 260 seated spectators for the largest hall in a sports setup. Hall 2 can serve as a separate warm-up hall or let several matches run at the same time. For concerts, the main hall holds up to 1,100 listeners and can be set with rows of chairs or round tables. For parties and events, the two halls, the cafeteria and the meeting room together hold up to about 1,500 guests. Eight changing rooms are available for sports groups.
Catering
The halls have a working cafeteria. The site does not describe a catering offer for private events, so ask the hall inspector what can be served and whether an outside caterer is allowed.
History and setting
Arena Himmerland stands close to the old Mastruphallen in the southern part of Støvring. It is a municipal sports and event facility, and its flexible halls are used for badminton, handball, football, basketball and other sports, as well as concerts such as the traditional New Year concerts where a symphony orchestra plays for about 1,000 listeners.
Getting there
The hall is at Brunagervej 1 in Støvring, and the site mentions good parking conditions. Halls and rooms are booked through the hall overview of Rebild Municipality, or by calling the hall inspector to discuss wishes for a party or event.
