Check if you can get reduced rent

We rent out event venues, halls, stages, studios, podcast studios, meeting rooms, rehearsal rooms, practice spaces, and our rooftop terrace. Anyone can rent venues for events and meetings from us, but we offer reduced prices and favorable conditions to certain types of events and tenants.

We want to strengthen and facilitate a diverse cultural life in Oslo. We provide flexible spaces, working communities and resources for cultural producers, ensembles, festivals and creative practitioners, enabling them to create and share their artistic expressions with the public. To lift the smallest players, we offer more affordable rental rates to some. You can read about which here.

Discount on renting meeting rooms

Businesses that work within Sparebankstiftelsen DNB's four areas of purpose, cultural production or social innovation receive a discount on renting meeting rooms at Sentralen.

Performing musicians and artists

At Sentralen there are five rooms adapted for rehearsals, rehearsals and preproduction. These are rented out both for full days and by the hour, every day of the week.

Rooms are rented out at extra favourable rates to all performing musicians - such as soloists, bands, choirs, ensembles and orchestras.

The rooms are built as rehearsal rooms, for all types of samples and for pre-production and are acoustically adapted to lend themselves to both amplified and slightly amplified sound.

Activities and events for children and young people between 0 and 19 years old

Sentralen has a separate rental scheme for activities and events for children and young people between the ages of 0 and 19. The scheme provides free rental of premises and technical equipment.

The activities and events today consist of, for example, theater and dance performances, concerts, open workshops, summer camps, youth debates, festivals, roller disco, pitching competitions for young entrepreneurs and much more.

Activities and events that promote diversity, inclusion and belonging

Sentralen wants to be a house where everyone feels welcome to host activities and events, and where the threshold is low for attending and being an audience member.

Through a separate rental scheme, Sentralen provides free rental of premises and technical equipment for activities and events that promote diversity, inclusion and belonging. The scheme has been named MINT.

Since the establishment of the rental scheme, the public has experienced diverse, inclusive and accessible audience events such as theatre, festivals, free dance, panel debates, concerts, shows, art exhibitions, professional conferences and seminars.

Do you want to organize an activity or event that will help make Sentralen an open house where everyone feels welcome and that mirrors the entire population? Do you have an idea for an event that, for example, is about gender equality, attitudes and participation? Please contact mint@sentralen.no.
