SHELTER610 - Park Vliegbasis Soesterberg

The Media Playground: 800 m2 space for inspiration, innovation, and creative disruption at Park Vliegbasis Soesterberg
Looking for a centrally located venue in the Netherlands for meetings, company outings, conferences, brainstorming sessions, or other events? Come to SHELTER610! This unique location is situated at Park Vliegbasis Soesterberg. At this historic airbase, you can host groups of 25 to 550 guests in a shelter of 800 square meters. The venue is located in the middle of a beautiful nature area of the Utrechts Landschap and right along the A28 between Utrecht and Amersfoort. A unique place where creativity, heritage, technology, and nature come together.

Park Vliegbasis Soesterberg is a historic airbase and now has the status of a protected nature area. One of the former aircraft shelters is now set up as an inspiring and interactive space for meetings, training sessions, company parties, conferences, or other events.

Immersive and interactive media installations as an inspiring environment for your event
This location is based on a special concept. In the shelter, there are various interactive media installations from the media design collective DROPSTUFF MEDIA in collaboration with various museums and museum collections. Through these installations, guests can experience the stories of tomorrow, the imagination of creative processes, and the wonder of new technological possibilities. It provides the perfect start for dissecting ingrained processes and opportunities and developing new ideas. In this completely unique ‘new media playground,’ your guests can personally experience the possibilities of immersive media such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, or artificial intelligence. Game consoles, an AI-powered candy store (!), and a real photobooth complete the day in a surprising way. The venue thus forms the perfect start and context for, for example, joint innovation or transformation processes, but also a perfect place for a fun party with a delicious BBQ!

Meetings and presentations in the shelter
The shelter is equipped with a large central courtyard with a big LED screen (3x4 meters!), a stage, and standard audio equipment. Behind it, there is a large transparent 'dome' tent for smaller meetings of up to about 65 guests, and there are also two smaller rooms for break-out sessions. We are happy to brainstorm with you about the purpose of your day and the possibilities in workshop and game formats, team-building activities, speakers, moderators, technical options, and, for example, a DJ for the music. And with standard facilities such as visual and sound installations, lighting, tables, chairs, and, for example, flipcharts, you know you have a perfect base for your meeting. In terms of catering, we offer a quality selection of fresh coffee/tea, snacks and drinks, lunch, brunch, drinks reception, and dinner options. We would be happy to provide you with a tailored offer in collaboration with our caterer.

Time for a break... into nature!
At this location, you can perfectly enjoy your break in a beautiful natural area. We offer special walking and cycling tours through the surroundings of the airbase, possibly guided by a guide from the Utrechts Landschap. Highly appreciated by guests who have already visited SHELTER610!
