Hof Frien welcomes company parties, workshops and meetings for 10 to 200 people, and offers the whole farm for exclusive use on special occasions such as anniversaries. The estate stands in Höfen near Uchte, at Höfen 13. It combines a banquet hall (the Festsaal), the Kuhstall and the Festscheune with a restaurant, a farm café and holiday apartments for overnight guests.
Seminars and company events
The official site offers rooms for company parties, internal workshops and meetings of 10 to 200 people. For anniversaries and similar occasions, the team makes the entire farm available exclusively. The seating follows the organiser's wishes: parliamentary layout, round tables or chairs without tables. The team advises on the layout, sets the tables as requested and includes set-up and dismantling of the rooms. The furnishing of the rooms ranges from festive to rustic, which suits groups that want a relaxed setting for a meeting.
Meeting technology is a point the venue stresses. Each room has a fixed projection screen, a mobile screen is available, and projectors are on site. The Festsaal has nine multimedia screens. A mobile touch screen allows interactive presentations and replaces the flipchart. Colleagues who cannot travel can join through an online conference link. Free consultations are offered before booking.
Weddings and receptions
Hof Frien has a dedicated wedding page, and the Festsaal, the Kuhstall and the Festscheune are presented as places for weddings, family celebrations and milestone birthdays. The site also lists children's birthdays, Christmas parties and funeral receptions. A wedding fair called Herz & Hof is announced for January 16 and 17, 2027, with more than 40 wedding service providers.
Rooms and capacities
The official site gives a range of 10 to 200 people for company events, and does not give a capacity for each room. The three event spaces are the Festsaal, the Kuhstall and the Festscheune. Outdoors, the grounds have very old trees, and a children's play barn serves families. Ask the team which room matches a given group size and layout.
Accommodation
Hof Frien has its own holiday apartments on site, which the venue recommends for guests of meetings and celebrations. The official pages reviewed here do not state how many apartments or beds there are.
Catering
The in-house kitchen cooks regional and modern dishes. For company events, the packages range from a coffee table with cake and coffee to a four-course menu. Meeting drinks are charged by consumption, and finger food can be added between sessions. Individual menus can be arranged for each occasion. The restaurant also runs seasonal buffets, such as the asparagus season and the kale season, and a farm café serves coffee and cake from Thursday to Sunday.
History and setting
The estate presents itself as an experience farm with a restaurant, a farm café and event spaces. Its Advent market has run for more than 30 years and gathers over 100 exhibitors, and a spring market follows in March. The setting is rural and relaxed, with fresh air and open grounds between sessions.
Getting there
The address is Höfen 13, 31600 Uchte. The office is open every day from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The official pages do not describe public transport, so organisers should check the route with the team when guests travel by train.
