Company Christmas lunch in the National Park

Christmas lunch party

Are you looking for a unique venue to host your company’s annual Christmas lunch for colleagues near Roskilde? Based on old traditions, and with an unwavering synergy with local producers in the surrounding area, we invite you to a magical Christmas in the middle of the National Park.

Throughout November and December, we invite you ”White Christmas & Light Festival” In the forest. Indoors, we are transforming the restaurant into a white winter dream with a sparkling sea of Christmas lights and snow-white art and flower installations. Outdoors, crackling bonfires, illuminated torches and shimmering light beams will transform the forest into a living universe of light.

We accept parties from 20-400 people. At Herthadalen, you can hold your company Christmas lunch in your own premises (with a minimum of 20 people). With a minimum of 100 people, your Christmas event can be held at Ledreborg Castle. All our rooms are cosily furnished, contributing to a good mood and atmosphere – and they are all located just 30 minutes from Copenhagen, and are easily accessible via the main routes.

Hold årets julefrokost i nationalparken.

Host this year's Christmas lunch in cosy surroundings near Roskilde. At Herthadalen, we've themed Christmas and chosen a Christmas universe which we've named “White Christmas & Festival of Lights”. We'll ramp up the cosiness and Christmas aesthetic in the forest, dim the lighting in the restaurant, and light thousands of small Christmas lights, both indoors and outdoors.

From intimate Christmas lunches to large company parties – at Herthadalen, you can gather from 20 to 150 guests, while Ledreborg Castle sets the stage for truly grand events with up to 500 attendees. To have your own room at Herthadalen, you simply need to be a minimum of 20 people.

Psst... In a smaller group?
Every weekend we welcome lunch and dinner in the restaurant. If you are under 20 people, you can easily book your own table.
