### Events and Programming

**Location note:** Stockholmsmässan is in Älvsjö, Stockholm, Sweden, not in Sund in the land Islands. The visitor address is Mässvägen 1, 125 80 Älvsjö. Älvsjö Station is immediately beside the exhibition centre, making the venue a short commuter-train ride from central Stockholm.

Stockholmsmässan is primarily a large exhibition and congress centre rather than a permanent concert arena. Its programme combines public fairs, professional trade shows, international congresses, corporate events, esports, gaming festivals, award ceremonies, gala dinners, lectures and occasional concerts or broadcast productions. The public-facing calendar includes design, interiors, gardening, boating, food and wine, health, children’s events, popular culture, education, security, transport, technology and professional development.

As of September 17, 2026, the published programme includes the World Congress of Psychiatry, a Le Creuset outlet event, LLB Expo, Hem & Villamässan, Trädgårdsmässan Höst, eCarExpo, UnderBARA BARN, Skydd, Persontrafik, Totalförsvarsmässan, the Sewing & Crafts Festival, Comic Con Stockholm Winter, Allt för Hälsan, Sthlm Food & Wine, Socionomdagarna, Battery Innovation Days, Gymnasiemässan, DreamHack Stockholm, Datacenter Forum and a December event with Christoffer Norén.

The 2026 calendar also shows the range of earlier-year programming. European Dog Show took place in September, while the Swedish Championships for Young Enterprise brought young entrepreneurs and companies to the venue in May. The programme demonstrates that Stockholmsmässan can move quickly between specialist congresses, family attractions, public retail fairs and very large youth-oriented events.

Recent years have included World Tunnel Congress, ISPO, Röntgenveckan, Formex, Allt för sjön, the Antiques Fair, Nordiska Trädgårdar, Sthlm Food & Wine, Allt för Hälsan, Swedental, Odontologisk Riksstämma, Sectech, Hyrox and the Swedish Championships for Young Enterprise. In 2025, DreamHack filled the entire facility and attracted 60,000 visitors, while Hyrox drew more than 16,000 competing athletes.

Gaming is now one of the venue’s most visible large-scale cultural uses. DreamHack first moved to Stockholm in 2024 after more than two decades in Jönköping, attracting 52,000 visitors from 59 countries. Its 2025 edition grew to more than 60,000 visitors from over 70 countries and combined esports, creators, music, streaming, cosplay and exhibition areas. The event’s tourism impact was estimated at more than SEK 81 million. DreamHack Stockholm is scheduled to return November 27–29, 2026.

Stockholmsmässan’s performance history is older than its current event mix. The complex hosted the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest when it was still known as Sankt Eriks-Mässan, and Victoria Hall hosted the televised Swedish Melodifestivalen finals in 1996 and 1999. Victoria Hall has also hosted international concerts, gala dinners and prominent speakers including John Cleese and Richard Branson.

The venue has also been used for opera and sport. Architectural planning material records performances of Verdi’s *Aida* and large tennis events connected with the Stockholm Open, illustrating how the halls can be converted for productions far beyond conventional exhibitions.

Beyond 2026, the published calendar includes Formex, Stockholm Design Week, Stockholm Furniture Fair, Nya Antikmässan, Nordiska Trädgårdar, Sportfiskemässan, ESCMID Global, CIRED, Retail Technology, Totalförsvarsmässan and Gymnasiemässan in 2027. Additional events are already listed for 2028, including Formex, Nordbygg, Totalförsvarsmässan, Skydd and Gymnasiemässan.

### Tickets and Booking

There is no single ticket model for Stockholmsmässan. Each exhibition, congress or festival sets its own prices, age rules, opening hours, ticket release schedule and refund conditions. The venue’s calendar identifies the event and organiser; visitors should use the individual event’s published ticket instructions rather than assume that admission is handled in the same way for every show.

Public fairs commonly offer one-day tickets, multi-day passes, reduced youth or child admission and a higher-priced on-site option. For example, the 2025 autumn garden and home fairs advertised adult day admission from SEK 170, an all-days pass from SEK 260, and reduced prices for younger visitors. Comic Con Stockholm Winter 2026 advertised an early-bird three-day ticket at SEK 1,085. These are event examples, not a permanent Stockholmsmässan price list.

Specialist congresses may use professional registration packages rather than ordinary public admission. Some trade fairs are restricted to industry visitors, while others combine business days with public sessions. Popular festivals should be booked early, especially DreamHack, Comic Con, dog shows and major consumer fairs. Early-bird windows, limited-capacity sessions and premium add-ons can disappear before the main event opens.

On-site ticket desks may charge a service fee or offer fewer ticket types than advance sales. Visitors should bring the ticket in the format specified by the event organiser and check whether identification, a professional invitation, a vaccination document for a dog show or a separate add-on is required.

### About Stockholmsmässan

Stockholmsmässan is a multi-building exhibition, congress and event campus with approximately 70,000 square metres of exhibition space. The venue describes itself as the Nordic region’s leading meeting place for trade fairs, conferences and events, with flexible areas for audiences ranging from small meetings to tens of thousands of participants. One company announcement stated that the site can accommodate nearly 27,000 people simultaneously in different areas and events.

The organisation was founded in 1942 by Börje and Folke Claeson. Early fairs were held in rented premises, including the Royal Tennis Stadium. Permanent exhibition premises were established at Storängsbotten in 1956, and Stockholm City and the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce took over the operation in 1964. A new site was proposed at Älvsjö or Järvafältet in 1966, with Älvsjö ultimately selected because of its railway connection.

The Älvsjö facility opened on March 20, 1971, with Halls A and B and about 20,300 square metres of indoor exhibition space. It was still called S:t Eriks-mässan at opening and adopted the name Stockholmsmässan in 1976. Hall C followed in 1977, Hall D in 1981 and Hall E in 1985. The former Hall B was rebuilt as a combined exhibition and congress facility, including Victoria Hall, completed in 1992.

A major redevelopment completed around 2000 added a new Hall C, new façades, restaurants, entrances and congress rooms. The venue hosted an EU summit in 2001 and opened its neighbouring hotel in 2006. Further expansion completed in 2009 brought the total exhibition area to approximately 70,000 square metres. The main entrance was rebuilt in 2013, the digital infrastructure was upgraded in 2014, a digital signage system arrived in 2017 and the venue achieved ISO 20121 certification for sustainable events in 2019.

During the 2020 pandemic, events were cancelled and Hall A was converted into a field hospital that was never used. The site instead supported activities including parcel collection, vaccination and padel. Stockholm+50 took place at the venue in June 2022, bringing more than 4,000 delegates from 155 countries. In 2024, Stockholmsmässan introduced a new visual identity and upgraded its wireless network.

The facility’s future has been part of Stockholm’s planning debate. A 2024 announcement referred to operation through the end of 2028 while the area was considered for housing, workplaces and sports facilities. A later strategic statement said Stockholmsmässan would remain in Älvsjö at least until 2035. The current direction is to continue hosting external events while public fairs previously organised directly by Stockholmsmässan transition to another organiser.

### Seating and Layout

Stockholmsmässan does not have one permanent seating chart. Most events use open exhibition halls with temporary stages, stands, seating banks, dining layouts or standing areas. The organiser decides whether an event is general admission, reserved seating, classroom-style, banquet-style or a mixture of several formats.

Victoria Hall is the clearest choice for a conventional seated performance. It measures approximately 2,032 square metres and is listed for up to 2,000 people in auditorium layout, 1,104 for gala and dinner use, and 1,212 for banquet seating. Its grandstand can be folded up or down, allowing the room to change between a concert-style audience, exhibition floor, dinner and conference arrangement.

Hall A measures approximately 25,925 square metres, Hall B 11,330 square metres and Hall C 19,448 square metres. Hall A can hold up to 7,870 people in the venue’s published event configuration, Hall B up to 3,320 and Hall C up to 6,600. Hall AE provides another 6,754 square metres and is listed for up to 4,000 people.

For a seated show, the best view normally comes from the central seating block shown on the event’s own plan. In a temporary hall, sightlines depend on the stage height, screen placement, sound desk, camera platforms and barriers. For gaming festivals and fairs, proximity to the content you care about is more useful than a generic “best seat”: a main-stage ticket, esports ticket or premium add-on may provide a different experience from general exhibition admission.

The large halls are designed for flexibility and throughput rather than intimate natural acoustics. Victoria Hall is usually the most appropriate space for a speaker-led or music-led production, while Hall A, B and C are better suited to large audiences, temporary builds and multi-zone programmes.

### Getting There and Parking

The visitor address is Mässvägen 1, 125 80 Älvsjö. The easiest route is the commuter train to Älvsjö Station from Stockholm City. The journey takes about nine minutes, with trains operating approximately eight to fourteen times per hour. The station is next to the venue and the walk to the entrance takes only a few minutes. A direct commuter-train journey from Arlanda Airport takes about 47 minutes.

By car, follow the E4/E20 signs towards Mässan or Älvsjö. The venue has more than 2,000 spaces in nearby garages and outdoor lots, with additional capacity in surrounding areas during major fairs. Outdoor parking is listed at SEK 55 per hour or SEK 170 per day; garage parking is SEK 65 per hour or SEK 190 per day, with the daily rate running until 8:00 the following morning. Payment is available by mobile parking apps or card at the machines.

Garage P2 has 24 electric-vehicle charging points. Charging is free, but the ordinary parking fee applies. Around 25 spaces are reserved for holders of disabled parking permits, including spaces at P1, outside Scandic Talk and near the eastern entrance. Parking can fill during major festivals, so commuter rail is usually the safer option when a large event is running.

Taxi and accessible transport vehicles can drop passengers directly outside the entrances. Stockholmsmässan no longer arranges general coach travel for exhibitions; any event coach service is handled by the relevant organiser. Bicycle parking is available near the main entrance and by Älvsjö Station, with additional bicycle storage close to the station.

### Inside the Venue

Stockholmsmässan is a cashless facility and accepts most major credit cards. The site has twelve restaurants and food outlets, ranging from cafés and simple food to more substantial restaurant service. The selection changes with the event, and busy public fairs can produce queues at peak lunch times. A kiosk near the main entrance follows the opening hours of the event in progress.

Cloakrooms are available in several parts of the facility. The published charge is SEK 45 for a jacket and SEK 45 for a bag, payable by card. Restrooms are distributed throughout the halls, galleries and entrance areas. Accessible restrooms include changing tables, and the venue also provides nursing rooms with a refrigerator and microwave for warming baby food or formula.

The main entrance has an information desk. Lost property is handed in there during events, and unclaimed items are retained for a limited period. The venue also provides a room of silence for prayer, meditation or a quiet break. A heart-safe programme includes trained staff and nine defibrillators across the site.

Event entry may include bag checks, access controls or special procedures. Rules are event-specific rather than universal, so visitors should check the information issued for their particular fair or festival. Public areas have CCTV, marked emergency exits and trained staff. The venue is certified under the SHORE safety standard.

### Sound, Lighting and Production

Stockholmsmässan’s strongest technical feature is flexibility. Victoria Hall has integrated audio, lighting and video capability, while the wider complex can support temporary stages, broadcast infrastructure, exhibition screens, breakout rooms, gaming networks and large gala productions. The venue’s published capacity material confirms ceiling heights ranging from approximately 4.1 to 15.5 metres depending on the hall and room.

Production case studies show that the site can support demanding international congresses. An 8,000-attendee medical congress used technical solutions across the entire facility, including stages, Victoria Hall, twelve breakout rooms, camera production, LED screens, sound and video systems. A separate awards gala used 8.6 kilometres of cable and 3.2 kilometres of rope to build a temporary production comparable in technical complexity to a televised major event.

No public visitor-facing document provides a permanent room-by-room inventory of loudspeakers, mixing consoles, microphones or moving lights. Those details vary by event and should be confirmed with the organiser or production manager. The published material does confirm energy-efficient lighting in Victoria Hall, colour-changing capability and professional integrated AV support.

### Nearby Amenities

Scandic Talk Hotel stands directly beside Stockholmsmässan. It has 248 rooms and suites, along with a gym, sauna and rooftop bar, making it the most convenient accommodation for multi-day congresses, trade fairs and late-running productions.

The venue itself provides enough food and drink for many visitors to remain on site. For a wider choice of restaurants and nightlife, Stockholm city centre is only a short commuter-train journey away. Allow extra time before large public events because queues at entrance controls, cloakrooms, food counters and trains can all be longer than usual.

### What Makes This Venue Special

Stockholmsmässan’s distinctive quality is its ability to become a different venue from one week to the next. The same campus can host a design fair, a United Nations meeting, a dog show, a congress for thousands of specialists, an esports festival, a televised song competition or a formal gala dinner.

Its history gives the site cultural weight beyond trade fairs. The 1975 Eurovision Song Contest took place here, Victoria Hall hosted two Melodifestivalen finals, and the buildings have accommodated opera, tennis, political meetings and international conferences. The venue is also closely tied to the identity of Älvsjö, where the railway station and exhibition centre developed together as a national meeting point.

Its economic influence is substantial. In 2024, the venue reported 114 events and nearly 800,000 participants from 128 countries. Architectural planning material describes the complex as an important source of local service jobs and a catalyst for hotels, restaurants and visitor activity in Älvsjö. DreamHack’s reported tourism impact shows how a single large cultural event can extend well beyond the exhibition halls.

### Visitor Tips and Information

Arrive early for major fairs, especially if you need a cloakroom, accessible seating, a ticket correction or a quiet route through the building. The commuter train is generally more predictable than driving during large events. Wear comfortable shoes: visitors regularly spend several hours walking on hard exhibition floors, and the complex is much larger than a conventional theater.

Certified assistance and guide dogs are allowed. Other dogs are not permitted in the exhibition areas except for dogs attending a dog show. The venue offers a limited number of wheelchairs for loan at the main information desk, subject to availability and identification; they cannot be reserved in advance.

All fixed restaurants are wheelchair accessible. Ground-level access is provided to exhibition halls, restaurants and congress rooms, with accessible elevators to relevant upper or lower areas. Hearing-aid systems with their own radio receivers are available in Victoria Hall, K1, K2, K11, K21, T1 and T2. Up to two carers or sign-language interpreters may enter free with the person they assist when the required documentation is shown.

The venue does not publish an ADA certification, and event-specific arrangements can affect access where temporary platforms, crowd density or built structures are involved. Visitors with mobility, hearing, sensory or communication needs should check the particular event’s layout before buying admission and speak with the information desk on arrival.

Recent visitor feedback is mixed. Attendees commonly value the excellent rail connection, enormous halls and wide choice of events. Criticism has focused on expensive parking, hard floors, queues, inconsistent food quality, limited seating and occasional connectivity or crowd-management problems. These comments vary by event and should be treated as visitor experience rather than a fixed description of every visit.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Is Stockholmsmässan in Sund, land?

No. Stockholmsmässan is in Älvsjö, Stockholm, Sweden. Its visitor address is Mässvägen 1, 125 80 Älvsjö, beside Älvsjö commuter-train station. Sund is a municipality in the land Islands, but the venue described in this guide is not located there. Check your travel booking carefully if a listing has incorrectly associated Stockholmsmässan with land.

#### What type of events are held at Stockholmsmässan?

The programme is dominated by exhibitions, trade fairs, congresses and conferences, but it also includes gaming festivals, esports, family events, concerts, gala dinners, award ceremonies, public lectures and broadcast productions. Recurring themes include design, construction, gardening, boating, food, health, education, security, transport, technology, popular culture and professional development.

#### What is the biggest event at Stockholmsmässan?

There is no single permanent largest event, because attendance varies by year and format. DreamHack Stockholm became one of the biggest recent examples, attracting more than 60,000 visitors in 2025 and filling the facility. Large international congresses, major public fairs and multi-day consumer festivals can also occupy several halls and bring thousands of visitors each day.

#### How many people can Stockholmsmässan hold?

The answer depends on the room and layout. Victoria Hall is listed for 2,000 people in auditorium format. Hall A is listed for up to 7,870, Hall B for 3,320 and Hall C for 6,600 in published event configurations. The venue has also stated that nearly 27,000 people can be accommodated simultaneously across different areas and events.

#### Does Stockholmsmässan have fixed concert seating?

Only some areas are suited to fixed-style auditorium seating. Victoria Hall has a flexible grandstand that can be raised or lowered, while the main exhibition halls are normally fitted out temporarily for each event. A concert, congress or gaming festival may therefore use different stage positions, barriers, seating blocks and standing areas. Always rely on the event’s own seating or site plan.

#### What is the best way to reach Stockholmsmässan?

Take the commuter train to Älvsjö Station. From Stockholm City, the journey takes approximately nine minutes, and the station is directly beside the venue. A direct journey from Arlanda Airport takes about 47 minutes. This is usually more reliable than driving during large fairs because parking can fill and traffic can build around the entrances.

#### How much does parking cost at Stockholmsmässan?

Published rates are SEK 55 per hour or SEK 170 per day for outdoor parking, and SEK 65 per hour or SEK 190 per day in the garage. The daily rate runs until 8:00 the next morning. Mobile payment and card machines are available, and an additional transaction charge may apply depending on the payment method.

#### Are electric-vehicle charging stations available?

Yes. Garage P2 has 24 electric-vehicle charging points. Charging itself is described as free, although visitors must pay the ordinary parking fee. More public charging is available near Älvsjö sports ground, but spaces can be in demand during major events. Follow the signs and check the payment instructions displayed at the relevant parking area.

#### Is Stockholmsmässan wheelchair accessible?

The venue states that its exhibition halls, restaurants and congress rooms have ground-level access. Accessible restrooms are located near entrances, in halls and in galleries. Elevators serve the relevant parts of the complex, and a limited number of loan wheelchairs are available at the main information desk with identification. Temporary event structures or crowd density can affect access, so advance checking is sensible.

#### Are hearing loops or assistive listening systems available?

Stockholmsmässan provides hearing-aid systems with their own radio receivers in Victoria Hall, K1, K2, K11, K21, T1 and T2. The venue says the system is intended to reduce distracting background noise during lectures and performances. Availability can depend on the room and event setup, so ask at the information desk if you need one on arrival.

#### Can carers or interpreters enter for free?

Up to two carers or sign-language interpreters may enter free when accompanying the person they assist, provided the required proof or certificate is shown. The venue notes that the assisted visitor’s own admission may still be subject to the event’s normal ticket rules. Temporary event limitations can apply, particularly where a crowd or built structure reduces accessibility.

#### Can I bring a dog inside?

Certified assistance and guide dogs are allowed. Ordinary dogs are not permitted inside the exhibition areas, except when they are participating in a dog show. Dog-show visitors may need vaccination documentation, a separate dog ticket and veterinary control, depending on the event. Do not assume that a pet can accompany you to an ordinary public fair.

#### Is Stockholmsmässan cashless?

Yes. The venue describes itself as cashless and accepts most major credit cards. This applies to many on-site services, including cloakroom payments, although an individual event or temporary concession may publish additional payment instructions. Bringing a payment card is therefore more useful than relying on Swedish cash for food, drinks, storage or purchases.

#### How much does the cloakroom cost?

The published on-site service information lists SEK 45 for a jacket and SEK 45 for a bag. Several cloakrooms operate around the complex, but opening arrangements can vary with the event. During busy festivals, queues may form near closing time, so collect belongings before the advertised end if you need to catch a train or taxi.

#### Does Stockholmsmässan have food and drink inside?

Yes. The venue lists twelve restaurants and food outlets, ranging from cafés and simple food to more substantial dining. The offering is adjusted to the event, so a professional congress may have different service from a public festival. Visitor feedback has sometimes criticised prices and queues, making it sensible to allow extra time at peak lunch periods.

#### Is there a hotel next to Stockholmsmässan?

Yes. Scandic Talk stands directly beside the exhibition centre and has 248 rooms and suites, together with a gym, sauna and rooftop bar. It is particularly convenient for exhibitors, congress delegates and visitors attending several consecutive days. Because Älvsjö Station is adjacent to the venue, central Stockholm hotels are also practical if the neighbouring hotel is full.

#### What should I wear to an event at Stockholmsmässan?

There is no universal dress code. Trade fairs and family events are casual, while congresses, galas and awards ceremonies may specify business or formal clothing. Comfortable shoes are strongly recommended because the campus is large and exhibition floors are hard. For outdoor queues in colder months, dress for waiting outside even when the event itself is indoors.

#### Does Stockholmsmässan host concerts regularly?

Concerts are part of the venue’s capabilities but are not its dominant recurring programme. Stockholmsmässan is primarily an exhibition and congress centre. Victoria Hall is the most clearly identified space for concerts and live shows, while larger halls can be temporarily converted for major productions. The venue’s historic music moments include Eurovision 1975 and Melodifestivalen finals in 1996 and 1999.

#### What is the venue’s connection with DreamHack?

DreamHack moved to Stockholm in 2024 after more than twenty years in Jönköping. The Stockholm festival combines esports, gaming, creators, music, streaming, cosplay and exhibition areas across the complex. Its first Stockholm edition drew 52,000 visitors from 59 countries, and the 2025 edition exceeded 60,000 visitors. A further Stockholm edition is scheduled for November 27–29, 2026.

#### How far is Stockholmsmässan from Stockholm city centre?

The commuter train from Stockholm City to Älvsjö takes about nine minutes, followed by a short walk from the station to the venue entrance. That direct connection is one of Stockholmsmässan’s main visitor advantages. By car, travel time varies considerably with traffic and event size, so the train is usually the safer choice when several thousand people are expected.
