Disen gård is a historic party venue in the Disen district of Oslo. It is hired by the half day, the day or the weekend for gatherings of up to 50 guests. The whole ground floor goes to one booking at a time, and the hirer arranges food and drink. It suits association meetings, weddings, anniversaries and family celebrations better than large corporate programs.
Seminars and company events
Disen gård does not sell seminar packages. The official site lists association meetings among the events it hosts, so the place works for a members' meeting or a daytime gathering of up to 50 people. Weekday hire is offered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in three slots: 12:00 to 16:00, 16:00 to 22:00, or the full day from 12:00 to 22:00. An earlier arrival can be requested. Tuesdays are kept for viewings and are hired out in the daytime only. Because there is no in-house catering, a team can bring the caterer or the buffet it already uses.
Weddings and receptions
The venue names weddings, anniversaries, confirmations, memorial gatherings and children's birthdays among its usual bookings. On Fridays and Saturdays, guests can arrive from 12:00. Music stops at 23:00 and everyone leaves by midnight. A single day, both Friday and Saturday, or the whole weekend from Friday to Sunday can be booked. On Sundays, guests arrive from 12:00 and leave by 22:00. For christenings and similar events that need preparation, access a couple of hours earlier can be agreed to deliver food and equipment. The venue states an age limit of 23 years and describes itself as best for calm celebrations.
Rooms and capacities
The maximum is 50 guests. The first floor is rented out in its entirety for each event. The second floor is the home of the two managers and is not part of the hire. The official site publishes a floor plan and table layouts as documents, plus a page on rooms and furnishing, so you can check how 50 guests sit before you write. The garden has room for two party tents, which is useful from late spring to early autumn.
Catering
Food and drink are not sold by the venue. The hire covers a fully equipped space with tableware and decoration, and the organiser orders catering or prepares the meal. A separate page on the site lists the tableware and equipment available. Check it before you brief a caterer.
History and setting
The building is a historic property presented in a period style, with a garden planted with species suited to the era. The managers live on site, take care of daily operations and handle bookings. The role is part time, so questions are answered by email rather than phone, usually within one to two working days. Viewings take place every Tuesday between 17:00 and 20:00, by appointment.
Getting there
Disen gård is at Kolderups vei 23, 0587 Oslo, in a quiet position set back from Trondheimsveien and Ring 3, not far from Storo. The site describes easy access by car and several public transport options.
