Livets Hus is an event house in Alta, northern Norway, for courses, conferences and private ceremonies with up to 140 guests. It is on Altahøyden Sør, with a garden that looks over the Alta valley, and its halls can be divided or combined to match the size of the group.
Seminars and company events
The official site has a dedicated section for courses and conferences. The ceremony hall can be split in two, which allows parallel sessions or group work, or opened up for a plenary of up to 140 people. The house has a Boston grand piano, a high-quality sound system, projectors, a lectern, two clip-on microphones and two handheld microphones. A hearing loop is installed for guests with impaired hearing, and the building is accessible. Parking is free for all guests. The team helps with planning and running the event and works with local suppliers of food, technology and entertainment.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are offered as alcohol-free events. Confirmations, christenings and other family celebrations are also listed. The same hall serves for the ceremony and the meal, and the foyer with its fireplace gives a place for guests to gather before and after.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall holds up to 140 guests. It can be divided into two parts or combined again, from a small meeting to a large conference. The foyer, which the site calls a mingling room, has a fireplace and modern furniture and opens directly onto the garden. The garden itself is a place to take a break during a long day, with a view over the valley.
Accommodation
The official site does not list bedrooms. Organizers with guests from outside Alta should arrange hotels in the town.
Catering
A fully equipped kitchen lets caterers prepare and serve food and drinks on site, so guests do not have to leave the building. The site mentions partnerships with local food suppliers.
History and setting
Livets Hus also runs funeral services, and the house has a dedicated farewell offer alongside its event hall. The acoustics are described by the owners as excellent, which is why the hall is also used for music. The vision stated on the site is an inclusive and flexible meeting place for people and ideas.
Getting there
The address is Altahøyden Sør 16, 9513 Alta. The site does not give directions or name an airport or station, so ask the venue for access details when you plan the event.
