In the heart of Douai, the Salles d’Anchin offer several municipal spaces for hire for business or private events. Located in the former Anchin college, they host meetings, training sessions, conferences, performances, exhibitions, trade fairs, drinks receptions and wedding receptions. Their central location, close to the railway station and cultural venues, makes it easy for attendees and speakers to get there.
The Jérôme de France room is the venue's largest space. Covering 370 m², it can be divided into two sections and accommodate up to 300 people seated or 350 standing, depending on the layout. A height-adjustable stage, tables and chairs, a projection screen and a projector are available. For conferences and performances with a chair-only layout, the Robert de Douai room can accommodate 199 people. Other, smaller rooms are suitable for meetings and training sessions in small groups.
Several spaces have practical equipment for preparing presentations or setting up an exhibition. Access for people with reduced mobility is provided, with a lift serving some rooms. Hire arrangements vary according to the space, event type and applicant's profile. Enquiries start with a provisional booking through the dedicated municipal department, which then confirms availability and booking conditions. The Salles d’Anchin therefore give organisers a choice of layouts in a central venue, suited to business meetings as well as receptions and events open to the public.
