The pavilion is run by a local association and stands in Tolne Forest at Bakkevej 65, 9870 Sindal. Two buildings are available for hire: the main building, which holds two halls and a kitchen, and a barn called Stakladen with its own kitchen and stage equipment.
Rooms and capacities
The main building, called Hovedbygningen, is rented as a whole, even though it is divided into two halls. The large hall holds up to 124 people and has a dance floor. The small hall holds up to 96. A kitchen, toilets and a cloakroom serve both halls. The kitchen is sized for about 150 people, and that is the number the venue says it can service.

History and setting
The story of Tolne Skovpavillon goes back to 1906, when a landowner and a farmer from the area had the idea for Tolne Forest, followed in 1907 by the idea for the pavilion. It was inaugurated on July 15, 1908. The first lease was signed with an innkeeper. For decades the pavilion served as a temperance inn, after a parish vote went against selling alcohol, and it kept that status until 1954, when a new vote approved an alcohol license.
Today the pavilion is run by a members' association with a board. It also hosts cultural evenings, and a satirical cabaret produced by Vendsyssel Theatre was announced on the site. The forest around the pavilion has its own page on the site.
