Väddö Kursgård hosts residential seminars, training courses and private celebrations on the Samnäsfjärden shore, with four meeting rooms and beds for 40 guests in their own rooms. The estate sits at Ytterskär in Väddö, in Norrtälje municipality, north of Stockholm, and takes groups who want to stay on site for one night or several.
Seminars and company events
The conference offer is built around the stay. Four meeting rooms are available, three of them in the same building, so a group can split up for workshops and come back together without leaving the premises. Every room has a projector or a TV, a sound system, wireless internet, a whiteboard and a flipchart. The venue also presents itself as a training platform for organisations in Sweden's total defence sector, which says something about the practical, low-frills way the place is run.
Course and conference packages are tailored to the group. The example package on the website covers lunch on arrival, coffee and cake, a two-course dinner, breakfast, coffee and fruit, lunch before departure, sauna access and a room with bed linen and towels. The meeting room itself is added separately.
After the working day, groups can use the sauna and the wood-fired hot tub, a grill area by the water, a private swimming spot with a jetty and a lawn with boule and kubb sets.
Weddings and receptions
The whole estate can be booked for larger parties and weddings. The condition stated on the website is a minimum of 40 overnight guests, which matches the number of beds in single rooms. Smaller family gatherings and birthday parties are also welcome. Groups of at least 12 can book meals in the restaurant, and the kitchen works out a menu proposal with the organizer.
Rooms and capacities
The website gives the number of meeting rooms and the overnight capacity, not the seat count of each room. Ask for room plans and layouts when you send a request, especially if you need a plenary session for more than 40 people.
Accommodation
Forty people can sleep at the same time, each in a room of their own, and most rooms have a private bathroom. The accommodation ranges from individual cabins to a hostel-style building, and the venue notes that most conference groups prefer single rooms. Sauna use is included for overnight guests. A rowing boat and a canoe can be borrowed during the stay, and the wood-fired hot tub can be added to a booking, with guests lighting the fire themselves.
Catering
All meals of the day are served in the dining room, and a bar is open on site. Menus for groups can be agreed in advance. For guests who prefer to cook, the grill area by the water is available.
History and setting
The estate lies right by the water, with a view of Samnäsfjärden from the sauna and the dining room. The setting is quiet and secluded, with a green outdoor area around the buildings.
Getting there
The address is Ytterskär, 764 92 Väddö. The website gives no transport information, so ask the venue about transfers from Stockholm before you book.
