De Lichtfabriek

Step into a world where history and memorable events come together. Once, De Lichtfabriek was the beating energy source of Haarlem, and now we pass that same energy on to your event. An iconic place with a rich past, where your guests will talk about it for a long time.

With its 9 sturdy, characteristic spaces – from the impressive heights of the Turbine Hall to the characterful Oliehuis – De Lichtfabriek offers a unique setting for every type of event. Whether it’s a large-scale conference, a product presentation, a fair, or a spectacular company party: the raw, industrial atmosphere immediately creates an unforgettable impression. Our venue also offers cozy spaces for smaller events that combine focus with the sturdy, historical appearance of our building.

In De Lichtfabriek today, everything is about fresh energy. It is the place where people come together, feel connected, and literally find the space for what matters. A location where new ideas emerge, valuable collaborations see the light, and of course, where toasts can be made extensively. 

No gathering is the same, and that’s why we believe in custom events. We think with you from start to finish about a concept that perfectly aligns with your goals, where we not only facilitate a unique space but also tailor the full technical support and setup exactly to your wishes.
