MoHo, on the Quai Amiral Hamelin in Caen, rents five event spaces for seminars, conferences, workshops, cocktails and dinners, for groups from 20 to 450 seated guests. The site covers 7,500 m², of which 1,500 m² are open to the public, and combines coworking, a restaurant, a sports hall and event rooms in the heart of Normandy.
Seminars and company events
MoHo presents its rooms as modular spaces with custom furniture, designed for seminars, creativity workshops, brainstorming, team building and co-direction sessions. The booking page lets you filter spaces by type, capacity from 20 to more than 100, step-free access and equipment such as an HD screen, a whiteboard, an interactive whiteboard, videoconferencing and a 360-degree camera. Translation and catering services can be added.
The hub also runs a program of impact events, talks and an annual summit, so a company hiring a room is placed among startups, universities and associations. The Atrium can be rented for informal events, and it connects to all the other event spaces.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages reviewed do not list weddings or private family celebrations. Cocktail receptions, dinners and presentations are listed, and the sports hall and the Atrium can be hired for them.
Rooms and capacities
The sports hall covers 479 m² and holds up to 450 seated people. It is bright, fully modular and available for events, cocktails, conferences, dinners, screenings, product presentations and sports challenges. The conference room covers 290 m² and can be set up in three configurations using two acoustic movable partitions. The amphitheater, designed as an unusual library, seats 130 and has acoustics suited to projections and conferences. The Cube, in the center of the Atrium, has two glazed floors for up to 30 people. The Atrium itself is an informal space that can be hired for events and has no stated capacity.
Accommodation
The pages reviewed do not mention bedrooms. Plan lodging in Caen for out-of-town groups.
Catering
The booking page lists a caterer service that can be added to a room, and the site also has a restaurant. Ask which caterer works with which space when you send your request.
History and setting
