The Museum and Visitor Centre of Fat Margaret in Tallinn rents spaces for receptions of up to 50 guests next to its medieval shipwreck, summer parties of up to 75 guests on the rooftop cafe terrace, and two seminar rooms for up to 20 participants each. It is part of the Estonian Maritime Museum.
Seminars and company events
Two seminar rooms for workshops and meetings sit on the third and fourth floors. Each measures 40 m2 and suits up to 20 participants. Each has its own restroom and a sink. The equipment listed is a wireless presentation system from Barco, a flipchart, writing materials and Wi-Fi. Coffee breaks are served in the event room, lunch can be arranged by agreement, and guided tours of the museum are available on request. Room layouts are not described, so organisers should state the format they need when booking.
Weddings and receptions
The venue offers exclusive premises for a party for a small group of people rather than a wedding service. A reception takes place in the atmosphere of the museum's main exhibit, a medieval shipwreck known as the cog. The pages read do not mention weddings, so couples should ask the events team.
Rooms and capacities
Receptions take up to 50 persons in the exhibition space beside the cog. In the summer season, guests can also be welcomed on the rooftop terrace, where parties at the rooftop cafe take up to 75 persons. The two seminar rooms on the third and fourth floors each hold up to 20 participants in 40 m2.
Catering
Coffee breaks are served in the seminar room, and lunch can be arranged by agreement. The museum has a cafe and store, and the rooftop cafe is the setting for summer parties. The pages read do not name a caterer or list menus, so catering for receptions should be agreed with the events team.
