Poble Espanyol rents nine indoor and outdoor spaces for company events, conferences, receptions, weddings and film shoots. The site covers 40,000 m2 on Montjuïc in Barcelona, about five minutes from Plaça Espanya. The largest capacity the official site states is 250 seats, in the Lasala theatre.
Seminars and company events
Companies use the site for meetings, product launches, institutional events, team building and banquets. The spaces are versatile and can be rearranged for each use, in any season. The Lasala theatre seats 250 people and has professional lighting and a large motorized screen, which suits plenary sessions and presentations. The Auditorio in the Fran Daurel Museum has a large screen, a projector and a sound system, and opens directly onto the Espacio Guinovart, where a cocktail can follow the session.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are part of the offer. The Ayuntamiento de Valderrobres on the Plaza Mayor is described as the most formal space on the site. Its Sala Noble reproduces a hall of the Palau de la Generalitat Valenciana, and its Renaissance porches copy those of the town hall in Valderrobres. The Monasterio de Sant Miquel combines a chapel, a cloister, a room for banquets or meetings and a garden, and it has an independent entrance at one edge of the site.
Rooms and capacities
The official list names these spaces: Auditorio Museo Fran Daurel, Ayuntamiento de Valderrobres, Baluard y Jardín Escultórico, Carpa and picnic area, Espacio Guinovart, Hivernacle, Lasala theatre, Monasterio de Sant Miquel and Plaza Mayor. The Hivernacle is a transparent, open pavilion more than five meters high, used for meetings, banquets, cocktails, launches and concerts. The Carpa is a wide open hall that works as a banquet room, a conference room or a catwalk. The picnic area beside it is shaded by large trees and has its own entrance from outside the site. The Baluard and the sculpture garden offer views over Barcelona and suit small concerts and cocktails. Espacio Guinovart is a circular building lit by a large skylight. The Plaza Mayor reproduces a square in Riaza, in the province of Segovia, and holds large parties and banquets. Capacities other than the theatre are in the venue's rental dossier.
Catering
The Hivernacle is served in collaboration with Vilaplana Catering. For the other spaces, ask the team which caterer applies to your date and format.
History and setting
Poble Espanyol is also a visitor attraction with architecture reproduced from across Spain, craft workshops and a contemporary art museum. Hosting an event here means sharing the setting with a living site rather than a closed hall, which suits groups who want a walk and a drink between sessions.
Getting there
The site is on Avinguda de Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia, in the Sants-Montjuïc district. The venue states it is about five minutes from Plaça Espanya, which is served by several metro lines.
Rental covers cleaning, security, coordination and reception. Audiovisual equipment, Wi-Fi and lighting can be provided.
