Slangerupgård is a family-run course and conference center with five meeting rooms for 10 to 60 people, 30 bedrooms and two party rooms. It stands in Faxe Ladeplads, in a thatched farm among woods and close to the beach at Faxe Bay, about one hour south of Copenhagen.
Seminars and company events
The center has hosted courses for more than 30 years. It offers five meeting rooms with capacities of 60, 35, 30, 15 and 10 people. Each room has a whiteboard, a flipchart, a projector and other technical aids, and the building has fiber internet. The team can also suggest activities for the course day through its local network.
Packages are built around a day or a stay. The day course runs from 9:00 to 16:00, or from 9:00 to 20:00 with dinner. Overnight packages run from 9:00 to 9:00 the next day. A day and a half package runs from 9:00 on the first day to 16:00 on the second. Packages cover coffee, lunch with a beer or water, afternoon coffee and cake, and, depending on the version, a two-course dinner and breakfast. A second version of each overnight package adds a bread platter on arrival and half a bottle of wine per person at dinner.
Weddings and receptions
Private parties are held in two rooms named Laden and Spisestuen. The site lists weddings, round birthdays, confirmations, receptions and wakes. Outdoors, there are trees suited to wedding photographs and a lawn where children can play. The party package includes welcome drinks, a three-course menu, wine with dinner, coffee and dessert, table setting with flowers, and a night with breakfast. The center offers a personal visit and a non-binding meeting before booking.
Rooms and capacities
The five meeting rooms hold 60, 35, 30, 15 and 10 people. The site does not give names or layouts for these rooms. The two party rooms do not have stated capacities, so ask for seating numbers when you plan a dinner.
Accommodation
The center has 30 bedrooms: 25 doubles and 5 singles, up to 56 guests in total. Every room has its own bathroom and toilet, a TV, a radio, a coffee and tea set and wireless internet. Hairdryers can be borrowed. The rooms differ in style from one to the next. For larger groups the team can arrange nearby accommodation. Bed and breakfast stays are also sold to individual travelers.
Catering
Meals are cooked on site from scratch, with local ingredients where possible. The kitchen avoids fast food and semi-finished products. The menu includes organic eggs at breakfast, seasonal salads and homemade bread, mixing Danish and international dishes, with a selection of wines for dinner. Meal times are agreed with the center by phone.
History and setting
The estate dates to 1857, when the owner moved the main farmhouse four kilometers east, stone by stone and beam by beam, to a spot near the town, the beach and the water. The thatched buildings keep that layout today. The family that runs the place says it manages the buildings with respect for their history.
Getting there
The address is Elmuevej 32, 4654 Faxe Ladeplads, about one hour south of Copenhagen according to the venue. Public transport details are not given on the pages reviewed, so confirm access for non-drivers with the center.
