De Wester

Surrounded by the Westerpark, in the vibrant center of art, culture, and entrepreneurship, stands the monumental De Wester, the former Transformer House. The impressive nearly 10-meter-high industrial space features a characteristic wooden roof structure and high-placed windows that fill the space with natural daylight. For a more intimate setting, these windows can easily be covered with wooden shutters. Through the back windows, you look directly at our iconic Gashouder. 

This event location offers endless possibilities: an intimate dinner at round tables, large-scale brand activation, a fashion show with a long catwalk, an inspiring fair and presentations, or a fantastic party for up to 770 guests. Additionally, it is possible to rent all the rooms of the adjacent Westweelde, creating a total space of 1530 m². Ideal for events with up to 1900 visitors. De Wester can also serve as a break-out space in combination with the Gashouder (under construction until 2026). 

At De Wester, history is made daily with events from leading names such as The Greanery, Bitcoin Amsterdam, Robijn, and Rituals. International Theater Amsterdam (ITA) established its first own theater here in 1993, and events like No Art, Unseen, Live MMA, and Sanctum have become big here, then flowing into our Gashouder. 

Thanks to our fully catered packages for room rental, various catering partners, and versatile technology and presentation options, you have all the space to shape your event in your own creative way. Convenience, flexibility, and quality come first.
