The Spaces
Tranekaer Center's main building is located in the old Sugar Factory from 1804 and has a ground floor area of approximately 1,000 m2.
The garden surrounding the Sugar Factory is approximately 4,500 m2, with its own lake. This can be used for both teaching and concerts when the weather permits. The garden extends directly into the forest, which is also ideal for use.
When you hire the centre, you gain access to all these indoor premises.
Access to the tents in the garden and the kitchen can be added.
(See more about the facilities such as sound system, whiteboard, projector, etc. here)
In addition to the Sugar Factory, there are several surrounding buildings – offering more beds, lounges, kitchens, and gardens – which can also be added for use in connection with larger retreats and festivals.
Furthermore, Tranekær Town Hall is also part of the centre.
It is ideal for budget-friendly stays.

The Chapiteau Tent
>Tilkøb<
We have a large, historic Chapiteau tent from Eagleroad, which blends naturally into the area.
The tent can be set up in two configurations:
A 12-sided version, covering 120 m².
An oblong version, covering 200 m².
The sides of the tent can be opened fully or partially, depending on the event and season.
The tent floor consists of rubber tiles that can withstand shoes (including high heels) and can also be used for dancing barefoot. Additionally, we have an extra soft "dance floor" which we recommend for courses involving more intense barefoot dancing.
We also have a heater for warming the tent.
As well as a stage.

The Lotus Tents

Our two bright, historic smaller tents are beautifully situated in the garden. They combine timeless beauty with modern comfort, creating a perfect setting for both relaxation and socialising.
With its white design and open, airy space, the tent is like a small sanctuary where you can enjoy the beauty of nature. It is ideal for both intimate gatherings and larger events where you wish to add a special atmosphere.
During the summer festivals, we most often use one of these as a lounge area.
The tents can be arranged as you wish; this could be with chairs and tables for seating, creating lounge furniture that invites relaxation and socialising, or whatever suits the event.
Each tent is 72 square metres. The twelve-metre long roof is supported by three poles and is two metres high at the sides, providing both ample floor space and height.
