In the summer, the celebration flows seamlessly into the large green courtyard with garden furniture and a champagne pavilion. You get a view of a stave church from the 13th century and the beautiful cultural landscape at the Norwegian Folk Museum. Absolutely perfect for both wedding celebrations and large dinners for international companies that want to show "Norway in a nutshell" - on Bygdøy!

The Festsalen is a large, bright and romantic room with a view of the cultural landscape at the Norwegian Folk Museum, perfect for life's big occasions. The Festsalen is located on the second floor, while the Blå Peisestue lounge is a few steps down, on the mezzanine level. The Festsalen can seat 120 guests together in the same room, but if you only rent the Festsalen and the Blå Peisestue, it is common to have somewhere between 30 - 70 guests. If you have more guests, it may be a good idea to rent the entire house. The Festsalen has free AV equipment and a good music system.

On Sundays we rent out the Festsalen at a special price of 15,900 kr.

More about us

Serving, food and drinks

at the Guest Rooms

The guest rooms are idyllically located on Bygdøy, on top of a small knoll in the cultural landscape by the Norwegian Folk Museum. Here you will have a very special setting for your event – with historic surroundings, large pine trees and views over the area.


We offer facilities for parties, meetings and conferences, and accommodate groups from 20 to 120 guests. You can choose from four different rooms, each with its own unique character and historical expression. For larger events, it is common to rent the entire house, while smaller groups often choose a single room.


When you rent from us, you also get access to nice outdoor areas with benches and tables, a champagne pavilion and a flagpole. There is free parking for around 20 cars.


The Festsalen can seat up to 120 guests, and the venue is often used for weddings and large celebrations. If you are getting married, we can also offer a wedding ceremony in the Stave Church or in Galleri Gamle landbruk – two unique wedding venues that many choose as part of their wedding day.


We are happy to help you plan and customize the event to suit your exact needs.

Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to use Gamle Landbruk for our wedding. The ceremony and atmosphere there were absolutely magical and exactly what we imagined. Everything went brilliantly and we escaped the rain the entire time we were there - as well as during the photo shoot we had.



The party, the food and the service afterwards were an adventure - thank you so much to everyone who contributed to our big day!
