Folkets hus, Theatre and community center in Umeå, Sweden.

Folkets hus is a building at Vasaplan in central Umeå, inaugurated in 1986 and owned 98 percent by Umeå kommunföretag AB. Its largest hall, Idun, seats 1,150 people, and the house also contains several stages and conference rooms. The restaurant Äpplet is on site, and since May 2019 the attic houses Guitars – The Museum.

The structure was built during Sweden's labor movement and initially served as a meeting place for worker organizations and union activities. Its creation reflects the need for gathering spaces where working people could conduct their meetings and collective activities.

The building serves as a venue for theater, music, and art events that draw together people of all ages. Residents use its spaces for performances, exhibitions, and gatherings centered on creative expression and community connection.

The venue is accessible by public transportation and has parking available nearby for those arriving by car. Arriving early for events is advisable, as the space hosts regular activities and popular time slots can fill up quickly.

The Guldäpplet prize has been awarded here every year since 1986 to an artist living in or connected to Västerbotten who is "young in their art"; the winner receives 30,000 kronor. The award is presented by Umeå Folkets hus.
