Gaustad Gjerdet Gård is a family farm on Byneset, which the site calls the green lung of Trondheim. Organisers book it for conferences, company gatherings, kick-offs, team building, farm weddings and private parties. Its main room, Gildehallen, is set for about 50 guests, and the farm adds a private wine room, a coffee room and an activity arena. The address is Ringvålveien 712-714, 7074 Spongdal.
Seminars and company events
The conference offer uses Gildehallen, Kaffestua and Vinrommet for joint work, presentations and group work. The farm takes one group at a time for each event, and all the venues are available all day. Gildehallen has a projector and a ceiling-mounted screen, and a flipchart and free Wi-Fi are provided. Coffee, tea, mineral water and a light snack are served on arrival. Between sessions, the farm arranges outdoor or indoor team-building activities, tailored so that they challenge without excluding anyone, in the activity arena and at Bergbutunet.
Weddings and receptions
The farm offers farm weddings with the ceremony in the orchard, with a view over cornfields, forest and a glimpse of Gaulosen, or in the farmyard. It can be set up indoors or outdoors. The party rooms take about 50 guests, give or take, and beyond that the farm can look at solutions in the yard, such as a wedding tent. A first planning meeting is offered. In summer, the farm pond or the orchard serve for the aperitif, and in winter Kaffestua does. Shared transport can be arranged.
Rooms and capacities
Gildehallen is the main hall and is set for about 50 guests at tables. Vinrommet is a private dining room for up to about 10 people, in the old henhouse, with a glass wall facing the wine cellar, and it can be used for small meetings. Bergbua is a rustic dining room at the fire grill, in the old cattle sheds that now form the activity arena. Kaffestua, Bergbutunet and Høylåven are also named, the last with a sauna and a relaxation room. The site does not state room areas.
Catering
Meals come from the in-house kitchen, served cold or warm, as plated meals or buffet. The group chooses one menu for everyone, and allergies must be reported before the event day. The farm lists a main menu, a party menu, tapas, a cold buffet, a grill buffet, a Christmas buffet and tastings of wine, beer and aperitifs.
History and setting
The party rooms are in converted farm buildings, and the farm says it tried to keep the culture of the old farm during the conversion. The setting is farmland with a view over fields and woods.
Getting there
The farm has large free parking next to the buildings. Shared transport can be arranged on request, depending on location, route and agreement.
