Wenkenhof and Reithalle
The elegant
mansion in the idyllic Wenkenpark and its landscaped
gardens is an ideal setting for any kind of event and occasion. Easy and convenient to reach by public
transport, its beautiful setting and superb catering service turn every event into a special occasion.
The
elegant buildings in the old Wenkenhofpark in Riehen are the Wenkenhof and its Reithalle (indoor riding
arena). Though this facility was laid out centuries ago, great care has always been taken to ensure
that it would not fall behind progress or the technology of the time. This has created a foundation,
carefully maintained, in an idyllic setting, that lends itself perfectly to any type of event.
Although
this green-belt area is in the municipality of Riehen and still belongs to the half-canton of Basel-Stadt,
it is a short distance from the city itself, but easy to reach by frequent public transport. In fact,
a bus line stops directly at the parks gates.
In the beautiful park and
its landscaped gardens stands the Reithalle, an indoor riding arena built by Alexander Clavel in 1925.
This was transformed a few years ago into a stately auditorium whose comfortable furniture and furnishings,
unique atmosphere, and flexible seating can accommodate from 350 to 400 people, depending on seating
layout. The Reithalle is particularly suitable for banquets, concerts, congresses, seminars, meetings
of all kinds, and every conceivable kind of exhibition, bazaar, festive occasion, and cultural event.
Its unique location, the stylish ambience, and the personal service offer ideal conditions.
Events
organizers particularly appreciate the modern presentation aids and equipment available, and further
technical equipment and support are readily available for hire. The in-house catering service can organize
and provide the right food for every occasion in a perfect setting.
