Folkehjem in Aabenraa can host seminars, courses, receptions and private celebrations, with halls that seat from 10 to 250 guests and meeting rooms the venue describes as suited to groups from 4 to 400 participants. The venue is a historic house at Haderslevvej 7 in central Aabenraa, in southern Jutland, and it runs its own restaurant.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells courses and conferences as a core offer. Its meeting rooms have daylight, comfortable chairs and modern AV equipment. A standard course day runs from 8:00 to 16:00 and covers a breakfast with rolls, cold cuts, cheese and coffee or tea, a lunch buffet with a hot dish, fruit and water during the day, and coffee with cake in the afternoon. Meeting material such as a flipover board, notepads and pens is part of the course package. Staff advise on menus and buffets when you plan the day.
The same rooms suit receptions, after-work meetings, Christmas lunches and summer parties for companies. Kongesalen has a stage, a projector and sound equipment, which makes it the natural choice for a plenary session or a company assembly.
Weddings and receptions
Folkehjem also hosts confirmations, round birthdays, weddings and receptions. The halls can be set up with tables to your plan, and the team adapts table colors and decoration to the occasion. The venue sends a quote once you describe the event through its contact form or by phone.

History and setting
The building is a people's house in a historic old building, and several rooms are named for events in the 1920 reunification of Sønderjylland with Denmark. Kongesalen is named after King Christian X, who met the citizens of Aabenraa there on July 10, 1920, after riding across the old border near Christiansfeld. A relief above the stage recalls the day. Billedsalen holds portraits of people who worked for the Danish cause in the border region, with H. P. Hanssen at the front. Junistuen, Februarstuen and Novemberstuen each recall a date from the same period.
The house stands in the middle of Aabenraa, close to the shops and the harbor town, and the venue describes it as easy to reach by car.
Getting there
The E45 motorway is about 5 km from the house, with connections to Germany and the rest of southern Denmark. The address is Haderslevvej 7, 6200 Aabenraa. The venue does not state whether bedrooms are available on site, so plan overnight stays with hotels in town.
