Brandbjerg Folk High School - an international gathering point
Brandbjerg Folk High School - an international gathering point !
Brandbjerg Folk High School is situated in the beautiful countryside just north of Vejle. It is an international Folk High
School with long as well as short courses.
We also offer facilities for conferences, seminars and parties. We have extensive experience in catering for a broad
variety of needs – including facilitation of teambuilding workshops, live concerts etc. Our kitchen is extremely well
regarded, and as the school was originally built as a conference center, we have good facilities for overnight stays.
Over the years we have developed a close collaboration with several large companies around our courses and facilities.
Novo Nordic, Vejle Kommune and Danfoss employees are regular guests here. Brandbjerg Højskole offers informal,
friendly surroundings combined with high quality content aimed at professionals.
