Svensefjøset

Svensefjøset is a farm venue in Lier, Norway, with two event halls under one roof: Bryggeriet for 20 to 65 guests and Storsalen for 50 to 150 guests. Companies use it for Christmas parties, staff parties, courses and conferences. The farm also hosts weddings, confirmations, anniversaries and memorial gatherings, and it sits a short drive from Drammen, Asker, Sandvika and Oslo.

Seminars and company events The venue offers packages for company Christmas parties, staff parties, courses and conferences in a rural setting. The site describes the packages as a starting point: the team and the client then build a program that fits the company. Storsalen has a stage and professional lighting and sound, which suits a presentation followed by dinner. Bryggeriet works for a smaller group that wants a more personal setting. Organizations as well as companies can book. Viewings are open to anyone who wants to see the halls before deciding, and there is no obligation.

Weddings and receptions Ceremony, dinner and party can all take place on the farm. The team says it has held several hundred weddings and follows each couple from the first viewing to the last dance. Planning includes several meetings to settle the menu, table plan, decorations and schedule, and a final meeting in the last week with the toastmaster. Both small weddings and larger celebrations fit. The farm changes with the seasons, and the site presents summer, winter, spring and autumn weddings, with winter arrivals by horse carriage shown in the photo gallery.

Rooms and capacities Bryggeriet is a warm, personal room for 20 to 65 guests. Storsalen is on the upper floor and holds 50 to 150 guests, with a stage and professional lighting and sound. It also works for a smaller group, since the room keeps a cozy feel. Both rooms are under the same roof, and there is parking on the farm.

Catering Cooks and waiters handle the food and the table setting. For private parties, white cloth tablecloths and napkins are included in the offer. Meals are prepared with Norwegian, seasonal ingredients. The food is made on the farm by Smakslykke, which also cooks for catering orders elsewhere, so a company can order food for a meeting held at its own offices. Menus for company events, parties, weddings and memorial gatherings are published on the site.

Getting there The address is Heggveien 5, Lier. The farm is near Drammen, Asker and Oslo, within a short drive of Sandvika. The website does not list public transport, so check the connection with the venue before booking a group.
