From cellar to attic, this Copenhagen culture house invites play. Valby Kulturhus at Valgardsvej 4, in the heart of the Valby district, is the municipality's culture engine for the city's southwest: theatre, dance and role-play communities for children and young people, ceramics and digital-design workshops, croquis evenings, painting groups and a stage programme that runs from concerts to talks - open every day from 08:00 to 23:00. Two in-house institutions give the building its character. The Spillaboratoriet is a games laboratory for nerds of every age - Dungeons and Dragons circles, Warhammer clubs, board-game groups and cosplay communities all meet or borrow rooms here - and Bastard Cafe, the board-game cafe that moved into the house, stacks a thousand games beside a hundred beers and ciders, with staff who will teach any rulebook at the table. Bornekulturstedet Valby on the second floor runs children's dance, rhythm and theatre classes plus twice-weekly open play sessions, and hires out for children's birthdays. The house also works as Copenhagen's culture sandbox: makers with a project - a performance, a concert, an exhibition format - get free rooms and project guidance under the city's culture programme, which is why the calendar mixes polished shows with first attempts. Rooms book through the municipal Book Byen portal, and the location two minutes from Valby station makes the whole operation an easy S-train ride from anywhere in the city. The weekly rhythm shows the house's reach: open Wednesday drop-ins, croquis and modelling sessions that have run for hundreds of dates, painting circles like Mal! Mal! Mal! and Kunstgruppen Rondo, and all-day role-play marathons in the Spillaboratoriet that push past midnight. Bastard Cafe often keeps serving even when the house itself is closed, which makes the corner of Valgardsvej a safe bet for a board game on almost any evening of the year.
