HaderslevHus is a not-for-profit cultural house at Slotsgade 33 in the old town of Haderslev, Denmark. Besides concerts, dances and lectures, it rents out rooms for meetings, conferences, team building, parties and weddings. The site lists five party rooms of different sizes, with named capacities of 2 to 50 guests in the Ridderbar and 40 to 75 guests in the Lille sal, and the Store sal for larger gatherings.
Seminars and company events
The official site names meetings, conferences, lectures and team building among the uses of the rooms. Companies can also hire a room for a Christmas lunch, a staff party or an evening with clients. The house offers to handle food, drinks, service, cleaning and washing up, so a host can simply sit down at the table. The Ridderbar is equipped with a sound system and a bar.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are on the list of events, together with confirmations, birthdays, christenings, memorial gatherings and club evenings. The Store sal suits a larger party because it has a bar, a stage and what the venue calls the largest dance floor in town. For smaller groups the Lille sal has a traditional feel with red walls.
Rooms and capacities
The Lille sal is the small hall. It suits gatherings of 40 to 75 people and has a traditional character with red walls.
The Store sal is the large hall. It has wood-panelled walls, lamps from 1963, a long bar, a stage of about 100 m², an orchestra pit and a large dance floor. The site does not state a seated or standing capacity for it, so ask the team for figures before planning a seated dinner.
The Ridderbar is the former knights' bar. It has been renovated with a rustic look, black paint, a black open floor and lowered ceilings, created together with the house volunteers. It is suited to groups of 2 to 50 people and has a sound system and a bar. The Ridderbar can also be rented as a room without catering.
Catering
HaderslevHus can supply the food, drinks and service for a party, and takes care of the cleaning and washing up afterwards. For a seasonal event the house runs Christmas lunch and Christmas ball formats, which gives an idea of the buffet and dinner service the kitchen delivers. The site does not publish menus, so request one with your date.
History and setting
The house stands in one of the best preserved historic town centres in Denmark and describes itself as a time capsule. The Store sal kept its wood panelling and its lamps from 1963. Through both the Danish and the German periods the hall hosted concerts, plays, operettas and revues. Today the house also runs a programme of balls, comedy, tribute concerts and lectures, which means the rooms are used and maintained all year.
Getting there
The main entrance is at Slotsgade 33, 6100 Haderslev. The back entrance and the car park are at Jomfrustien 20C. Booking is by telephone, preferably by text message, on +45 25 32 28 25, or by email at info@haderslevhus.dk.
