Lokomotivværkstedet is a former locomotive repair hall of almost 10,000 square meters in Copenhagen SV, used for conferences, gala dinners, exhibitions, product launches and shows. It scales from a seated dinner for 90 guests to a conference of 3,500 participants, which the venue gives as its largest event to date. An in-house event consultant follows each project.
Seminars and company events
The hall hosts conferences of all sizes. The venue states a flexible layout with seating for 3,500 participants, plenty of space for breakout areas and reception areas, its own restaurant and a technical department backed by a network of regular suppliers. An event consultant is assigned from the first contact to the end of the event. Production, catering and advice are all offered through the venue.
Product launches, exhibitions, trade fairs, receptions and dinners are also hosted. The floor area can be scaled to the size of each event. The smallest event the venue mentions is a dinner for 90 guests.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not present weddings. It lists receptions, gala dinners and festive dinners among the events it hosts, and the hall is described as suited to any type of event.
Rooms and capacities
The main space is one large industrial hall of nearly 10,000 square meters. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a roof structure of wood and glass bring daylight in from a height of 8 meters. The hall kept its raw look, with a modernized entrance, cloakroom and restrooms. Floor plans are published on the website.
Outside, a park of more than 4,000 square meters is directly accessible from the hall. It can serve for lunch, for a walk and talk during a conference break, or as a place to be outdoors during an event.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms on site. The venue has partnership deals with nearby hotels, with discounts for hosts, colleagues and clients, listed on a Hotels page of its website.
Catering
The venue has its own restaurant. Catering suppliers can tailor a conference or party menu to the client's wishes and budget. Technical production and a network of suppliers are available as well.
History and setting
The building was used to maintain Danish steam locomotives and is more than 100 years old. In 2009, it was converted into a full-service event location. It was introduced to the public during Copenhagen Fashion Week in February 2009. Since January 2009, it has been renovated step by step, with a new entrance, cloakroom and restrooms, while the hall itself kept its raw character.
Getting there
The address is Otto Busses Vej 5A, building OBV037, 2450 Copenhagen SV. The venue says it is only 15 minutes from City Hall Square (Rådhuspladsen) and close to the city center. The site does not give a station name, so check the route with the venue.
