As all great business people we of course advertice first, then acquire the actual goods later - no need to stock up before you know it's going to sell.
So, too, with the promised accomodation: we've been positively surprised by a large number of thumbs-up RSVP's, so we can now happily announce that we've found a small gallery within walking distance from our home with plenty of appealing square metres to fit y'all. There will probably be art hanging around, including sculptures of the strangest creatures, and it's very own secure basement, that has been used to store ammunition and beer for soldiers in ages past.
For those that want to mentally prepare for the walk to our place, here is the route:

1500 easy metres.

The How: Travel
Airlines
Ryan Air seems to fly directly to Århus from Stansted (but not from Basel, Tampere, Skavsta, Västerås or Torp):
www.ryanair.co.uk
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has Copenhagen as its main hub, and flies to Århus over Copenhagen (with the waits it takes as long as the train and is less ecological).

Flying to Århus
If you manage to find a direct flight to Aarhus it will take you about an hour in a nice air-conditioned bus to get directly from the airport to
the lively, pulsing centre. Costs about 12 euro each way. The bus is usually waiting for the flight to arrive and the walk to it is about 30 seconds from the baggage retrieval (tiny airport!) [Thank you to René for this great nugget!]
Flying to Copenhagen
Most major airlines fly to Copenhagen; SAS is in the Star Alliance but if you fly One World Finnair and BA, among others, will serve you. As you emerge from the baggage area, walk straight on until you find a train ticket counter. Buy a train ticket for Århus. [Pronounced Awr-hoose].
Flying to Billund
In the summer months there are a lot of flights to Billund, home of the original Lego Land. In October the season has ended, but if you can get there, there are bus and train connections to Århus, apparently including a direct bus.
Taking a ferry
Mainland Denmark can be reached on affordable ferries from Harwich, Oslo and Gothenburg, among other places. Fredrikshavn has a good train connection to Århus, and if you're considering the UK-Esbjerg connection, we can help you figure out what to do next.
Driving from Finland/Sweden/Copenhagen
We drive the Stockholm-Århus distance in pretty precisely 12 hours. That is not speeding very much but also taking basically no breaks (perhaps 90 min total).
Copenhagen-Århus is about four hours (Ulrik would say three, but that's illegal); for Malmö-Århus add 30 minutes, although on days with VERY high wind the Øresund bridge may be closed. There are bridge fees on the Øresund (Malmö-Copenhagen) and Stora Bælt (Feunen–Jutland) bridges. Both cost approximately 30 euros per car.
The Money
The currency of Denmark is Danish Crown (krone or DKK). We persist in giving these prices in Euros since not even Joc who lives here knows the actual value of a crown at this time.
