Looks like we've answered a non-existent question :)

 

Andy and Steve, so sorry! Highly appreciated! Right after I posted my question I recognized the answer was written in another post with the link to the rules and aspects for the day.

Thus I thought I should delete my silly question. :o

Wasn't aware you are currently answering. Looking forward to meeting you guys!

I have just been having a wander through the Copenhagen Guide Book bought for me as a Christmas present and noticed that the 12th October this year will be "Kulturnatten"

 

Copenhagen - Events - Copenhagen Top Events

Explore Copenhagen and all its cultural venues and events after dark with the Night of Culture Badge. On The Night of Culture 2012 the aim is to temporarily change the ambience and cultural landscape of Copenhagen. The whole city is an integral part of The Night of Culture, involving major and minor cultural institutions from the main boroughs: Nørrebro, Vesterbro, Christianshavn, Østerbro, City and Frederiksberg. Children, couples, families, groups and individuals - The Night of Culture has something for everybody: theatre, music, experimental arts, dancing, city walks, lectures and the list goes on. You can buy tickets all over the city.

 

Unfortunately, the website http://www.kulturnatten.dk seems to be down at the moment, but basically, the city is open all night for cultural events.

 

So, two things:

 

1. It could be a really interesting place to be

2. It could be a very popular time with the hotels, so booking early could be a very good idea.

Change of plans. Wifey and Sprog will also come now :)

 

I found the best deals on Easyjet and Swiss websites (for hotels), actually substantially better than Tripadvisor and Booking.com.

 

FWIW I have booked into the Marriot.

 

Cant wait now and looking forward to seeing you all again.

The Kulturnatten site is now live, and while they do have an English language page, the main itinerary pages are in Danish, of course.

 

There is some confusion regarding the dates between the Danish and English pages and I have emailed them for clarification.

Probably they are intending having 'English' days and 'Danish' Days! ;)

I have been working through the Kulturnatten site and it is clear that the city is going to be busy that weekend.

 

Over the past few years, at various Challenges, we have enjoyed an evening meal en-masse as a group. Normally, we would wait until the end of Summer to organise a suitable venue etc, but circumstances this year are clearly going to be different.

 

I would welcome any input from native Copenhageners (? :) ) or others with knowledge of the city, who can suggest a sensible venue with a choice of good food and at a reasonable price. In Copenhagen :) In the past, we have tried to keep to around €30 per head for a couple of courses and wine. We have managed to get wine thrown in for that too, on a couple of occasions.

 

Recently, we have had around 25 - 30 attendees and, thinking about it further, if the city is very busy, we may have to restrict to a "First Come, First Served" basis for allocation of spaces at the table. There may not be the flexibility that we have enjoyed in the past.

 

I will do my own research from here, but local knowledge is key to success with these things.

 

Many thanks in advance for your help.

I would suggest Café Dan Turèll where you can get a New England Burger for 19 Euro and other very good cafe food. Their backend restaurant would probably be large enough for 35 people.

 

It's vis a vis Montmartre Jazzhouse which also might be an idea as their kitchen is pretty good. They might be able to set up dinner in part of the place so one can stay for coffee, drinks and music Jazzhus Montmartre - Copenhagen's prime jazz club for world class jazz: The book about Jazzhus Montmartre

 

Here's a photo from Dan Turell :)

I am coming also. I am just living on the other side of the bridge in Malmö, Sweden.It will be great to meet you all!

 

Kulturnatten are extremely exiting and very busy something is happening everywhere. So it's a good idea to book everything already.

 

Dan Turell is a nice option. Classic Danish Café. Good food and cheap with Copenhagen Standards.
