Harrys in Brændekilde, Odense SV, rents out rooms for meetings, parties and weddings. Meetings take 2 to 100 people in the Lounge or the hall, and the party room seats up to 70 guests. The site covers 2.7 hectares of forest, lake and wild areas close to the water, and organisers can rent the premises and handle everything themselves or ask the owner for help with planning.
Seminars and company events
For meetings, the Lounge or the hall can be booked for groups from 2 to 100 people. The rooms have AV and video equipment and a view over the surroundings. An overview of the rooms and of the table layouts is published on the site, so an organiser can compare settings before writing. The same buildings and grounds can host a company party or an away day, since the site presents itself as a place for a wedding, a party, an event or an important meeting.
The outdoor areas are named on the site as the courtyard, Bredskoven, Hejresøen and Vildmarken, the wilderness. They give a team space to step outside between sessions or to hold part of an event in the open.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are held with a church ceremony or an outdoor ceremony in the park by the lake. The party room seats up to 70 guests, and the exclusive Lounge suits smaller weddings and private dinners. Tents can be put up for the party or for sleeping. Hosts can choose from a wide range of caterers and set the menu themselves, and drinks are supplied by the venue.
For weddings, access starts at 5 p.m. the day before and runs to 3 p.m. the day after, with earlier access from 3 p.m. if the rooms are free. The party must end at 2 a.m. under Danish law. Guests park free of charge and can leave cars overnight. Tenants return the rooms and grounds tidy, wash all tableware and take their own waste.
Rooms and capacities
The main party room is bright and open and seats up to 70. It has a bar area with a design inspired by old tramcars, and a quiet lounge corner on the first floor that suits a gift table or a children's area. The Lounge is a separate, exclusive room for smaller groups. Outside there is a lake, a bridge, a bonfire hut, paths and an outdoor bar. Using the fire in the bonfire hut and connecting a food truck or a bouncy castle to power carry a supplement, as the rental terms explain.
Catering
Harrys does not tie hirers to one kitchen. Tenants choose among many caterers and agree the menu with them, and the venue supplies the drinks. There is no deposit; an invoice follows a few days after the event.
