Tucked away along the banks of Akerselva, just a stone’s throw from central Oslo, Månefisken offers some of the city’s best-located event venues. From dreamy weddings and stylish company parties to conferences, product launches and live performances, Månefisken can make your events run seamlessly.
Since 1989, Månefisken has welcomed guests for everything from intimate gatherings and elegant weddings to large-scale corporate events and press conferences. “Our strength lies in our flexibility and experience, and we tailor every event to our guests’ needs, whether it’s a conference for 20 or a party for 300,” says manager Margrethe Cannistraci.

When Månefisken took over the premises of the former State Technological Institute in 1989, it embraced the site’s rich heritage while reimagining it for a new purpose. What began as a cultural workshop, hosting concerts, art exhibitions, and performances, has over time evolved into one of Oslo’s most sought-after event venues. “Today, we offer three different spaces – Månefisken, Månehallen, and Café Månefisken – each with its own character and capacity, depending on what you need,” says Cannistraci.

The main hall, Månefisken, boasts a large stage and a fully licensed bar, making it ideal for grand celebrations, conferences, and concerts. With high ceilings, rustic brick walls, and traces of an industrial past, the space exudes historic charm while offering state-of-the-art facilities.

For more intimate gatherings, Månehallen provides a warm, cosy atmosphere, perfectly suited for private dinners, workshops, and medium-sized parties. Meanwhile, Café Månefisken, which is open seasonally, invites guests to enjoy simple dishes and refreshing drinks by the river, with one of Oslo’s most picturesque outdoor terraces as its backdrop.


In addition to the extensive experience, what sets the team at Månefisken apart is their personal approach. The team handles everything from planning and décor to catering, technical setup and entertainment. Whether looking for a full-service package or if you want to bring your own creative concept to life, Månefisken provides the flexibility and expertise to make it happen. “Our job is to make every occasion effortless for our clients, whether that means designing a full-scale wedding or hosting a creative company retreat in an unconventional setting.”
From the first meeting of the day to the last song of the night, look to Månefisken to ensure that your next event is fun, seamless, and successful.
