About this venue

Bolstad Kulturgård is an authentic Norwegian farm estate with roots in the 1600s, about fifteen minutes from Drammen at Sande in Holmestrand. It is run by Sande Event AS and fitted out with modern facilities, taking events from five to 600 guests — weddings, day conferences, confirmations, Christmas dinners, company parties, memorial gatherings, product launches and concerts. Sande Jazzfestival uses the farm, and the Bolstadhagen garden is used for outdoor concerts. Storsalen is the heart of the place: a high-ceilinged room with a stage and a professional sound and light rig, a sprung parquet floor damped for mixed use and access to the main kitchen. It seats up to 600 at table and is laid out in several standard configurations — 600 at full capacity, 508, 468 in rows of chairs, 432, and 128 for smaller gatherings — so it takes everything from large weddings and concerts to conferences and trade fairs. Gårdskafeen combines old farm tradition with modern comfort: bright windows, warm materials, a bar section, flexible furnishing and a direct exit into the courtyard. It takes up to 300 and is used as a reception room, for buffet dinners or as an additional room alongside Storsalen, with standard layouts of 80 classroom-style, 160 at banquet or for a wedding with an aisle, and 96 for a smaller wedding. Høyloftet is a large, flexible room in the historic architecture for up to 200 — day conferences, gatherings and functions — with a 96-inch screen, wireless internet and a shuffleboard. Auditoriet Åsen has a fixed raked amphitheatre seating 50 with clear sightlines from every place, built-in AV, a sound system, a 96-inch flat screen and adjustable mood lighting, suited to talks, presentations, theatre and courses. Day conferences also have an eleven-metre-wide big screen and twelve meeting rooms available. There is free parking, and the estate offers a free half-hour guided viewing before booking. A horse centre operates on the same farm.
