Play curling in Copenhagen — and find your people
From the ice hall at Gentofte Sportspark to the curling hall in Hvidovre, Copenhagen's curling clubs are small, social and glad to put you on a team. Your first session is free, and you book it in English.
2 clubs play curling in Copenhagen, with 28 upcoming trial sessions: Gentofte Curling Club and Hvidovre Curling Club.
More than a training session
A curling evening in Copenhagen is four players to a sheet of ice and a scoreboard nobody takes too seriously until the last end. Gentofte Curling Club plays in a dedicated ice hall at Gentofte Sportspark, with weekly leagues and its own Gentofte Cup; Hvidovre Curling Club has a four-lane curling hall at Frihedens Idrætscenter.
Danish clubs are foreninger — run by their members, not by a company — so you are not a customer; you are part of the club. The clubs are small and ice time is booked in advance, so say you are coming and they will have a place ready for you on the ice. Ice time is the club's largest expense, which is why the kontingent is a little higher than for a hall sport.
Copenhagen here covers the city and the Capital Region, and both clubs are just outside the centre. Pick the one on a line you already ride, book your free session and come along once.

Good to know
Do I need to speak Danish?
No. You book in English, and your confirmation email is in English too. Training itself may be in Danish — just ask, and people usually switch.
Is the first session really free?
Yes. A trial session booked here costs nothing. You are not signing up for a membership by booking one, and nobody asks for card details.
What should I bring?
Warm layers you can bend and stretch in, and clean indoor trainers — the ice is unforgiving about outdoor soles. The club provides the stones and, usually, the sliders.
What happens after I book?
You get a confirmation email, and the club is told that you are coming. If you need to change the date or cancel, the email has a link for both.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. You can add one guest when you book, and they get their own invitation by email.
How does membership work in a Danish club?
Danish clubs are foreninger — member-run associations, not commercial gyms. After the free trial you join by paying a kontingent, usually once or twice a year, and that is what covers training and coaching for the season.
When can I start?
Curling is an ice sport, so the season follows the rink: roughly autumn to spring. It is a good answer to a Danish January.
Which areas does this page cover?
Copenhagen here means Copenhagen and the Capital Region: the clubs listed on this page train in the city itself and in Gentofte, Hvidovre, Amager and Brønshøj. If you live anywhere along an S-train line, one of them is probably closer than it looks on a map.
