Havarthigaarden in Holte, north of Copenhagen, rents four rooms for parties, weddings, meetings, conferences and cultural events, with capacities from 60 to 130 guests. The venue is a farm with a garden, and it is run without ties to restaurateurs or rental companies, so hirers keep control of the day. Guidance and ideas are offered, and catering, decoration or practical assistance can be added.
Seminars and company events
The site lists meeting rooms and event venues for businesses on a page of its own. The four rooms are called Lokale A, B, C and D, and the site describes them as suited to parties, meetings, conferences, cultural events and art exhibitions. Lokale C is the largest and is presented for big gatherings, conferences and exhibitions. Lokale D is described as suited to parties, meetings and conferences and opens directly onto the yard.
The pages read do not give equipment lists or seating layouts for meetings, so organisers should ask for these in the first message. The farm also runs its own program of exhibitions, concerts and talks, and the workshop gallery shows art through the year. A company hiring a room therefore uses a working cultural venue.
Weddings and receptions
The venue presents itself as a place for weddings, confirmations and other parties in Holte. Hirers get personal service and freedom to arrange the day, and may bring their own caterer and decoration or buy them through the venue. The rooms are not rented for youth parties, student parties or similar events.
Rooms and capacities
Lokale A holds 60 people. It is the original farmhouse, with three bright rooms in a row and direct access to the garden. Lokale B also holds 60 people and has three rooms that can be used in different ways. Lokale C holds 130 people and is the largest room. Lokale D holds 70 people and gives direct access to the yard. Floor areas are not published on the pages read.
Catering
The venue is not bound to a restaurateur. Hirers can book catering through the venue and its partners, or organize food and drink themselves. Decoration and practical help are offered on the same basis.
