A versatile event venue in Copenhagen

Information for exhibitors

Dear exhibitor,


Welcome to Øksnehallen.


In order for us to create a great experience for you during your stay in Øksnehallen, there is some practical information we would like to share with you about our historic venue.


Øksnehallen was built in 1901 by the then city architect Ludvig Fenger. The purpose of the hall was to house slaughter cattle before slaughter in the Meatpacking District’s slaughterhouses.  In 1993, the now listed hall underwent a complete renovation and transformation into an exhibition and event venue.

 

Today, the beautiful hall is ready to welcome guests from all over the world into the unique and historic surroundings in the heart of Copenhagen.
