International events

Since 2007, Herning has focused on being an attractive partner for international concerts and sport events. The goal is to host at least one international sport event a year. 

To host such large-scale events, Herning benefits from

  • A dense infrastructure with motorway network and an international airport nearby. This makes the venues at MCH Messecenter Herning easy to access.
  • Professional event management experience, which has been built up and developed for decades.
  • Multi-arena, stadium and conference facilities - flexible and scalable.
  • Strong local commitment from both businesses and citizens. A large base of local volunteers help to create excellent service and hospitality.
