Practical information when renting premises at Eidsvoll 1814
Booking of premises
To secure a venue for your event, it is recommended to book early. Especially when it comes to weekend events. Courses, larger meetings and seminars should be booked at least two months before the desired date, but we try to find solutions even for late bookings. Food and catering orders must be confirmed with quantity, content and any allergies, etc. no later than one week before the event.
Opening hours
We are closed for rental in July and on public holidays. Café Standpunkt can only be rented outside the Museum's regular opening hours.
Ordering and payment
The invoice is sent after the event has been completed. The venue is booked when you receive an order confirmation from Eidsvoll 1814 and is valid until a possible cancellation from the customer occurs. Without cancellation within the given deadlines, the entire rental amount will be invoiced. Minimum hourly rental is up to three hours.
Included in the rent
The rental price includes rigging, table setup and access to technical equipment such as wifi, sound system and projector in the venue. If you need extended technical support, use of microphones, larger sound system and sound technician, this must be agreed in advance for a separate fee. The venue is cleaned by the landlord after the event has taken place.
Decorations and equipment
It is not allowed to attach decorations to walls or ceilings, move museum objects or use confetti cannons and candles. The tenant is responsible for any damage to buildings or interiors, and the amount of compensation will be assessed based on the extent of the damage. All decorations brought in must be packed up at the end of the evening. This can be left in the venue and collected by arrangement. It is also possible to deliver decorations in advance so that they are stored at the museum before the event date.
Additional services
Floral decorations are not included, but can be arranged through our partner or your own external supplier. All catering, food and drinks must be ordered through Eidsvoll 1814.
Alcohol serving and bar solutions
No take-away items are allowed. The host can either cover all drinks and be invoiced, or let the guests pay themselves. It is also possible to combine these solutions, e.g. with vouchers and then card payment.
Facilitation
The venue (Auditoriet/ Kafe Standpunkt/ Eidsvollsbygningen) is wheelchair accessible, and menus can be adapted for allergy sufferers by arrangement.
