Party venues in Oslo
The Gjestestuene festlokaler is idyllically located on Bygdøy, surrounded by pine trees, old yards and the beautiful stave church from Gol. The house from 1917 was designed by Magnus Poulssen in a romantic national style, with rustic timber paneling on the first floor and hand-painted decor in the Festsalen and Den Blå Peisestue on the second floor.
The outdoor areas with champagne pavilion and garden furniture provide an extra setting for events in spring, summer and autumn, while the fireplaces create a cozy atmosphere in winter. When renting the entire house, you get access to all party rooms, and the kitchen ensures professional operation of the party.
As an extra experience, guests receive free admission to the Norwegian Folk Museum on the day of the event, which many appreciate as a pleasant stroll before or after dinner.
Party rooms where everything runs smoothly
If you rent the entire house, you have the Festsalen, Folkestuen, Den Blå Peisestue and Østerdalstua at your disposal. Behind these rooms is the kitchen at Gjestestuene and manages the party with a professional and discreet hand while you enjoy your party. If desired, everyone who rents our party rooms has free admission to the Norwegian Folk Museum on the day you are with us. Many people appreciate a stroll before or after dinner in the idyllic surroundings of the Norwegian Folk Museum.
