Bogerd can host congresses, trade fairs, meetings, company parties and workshops for up to about 400 people. It is a cultural center in Druten, in Gelderland, with a theater hall, a second flat-floor hall, a foyer and five smaller meeting rooms.
Seminars and company events
The official site presents the building as a congress center set up for a maximum of about 400 people. Three rooms serve as multifunctional congress rooms: the Theaterzaal, the Boudewijn de Groot hall and the Foyer. The Theaterzaal is the usual plenary room and is often booked together with the others. After the plenary part, groups can split into the five flexible meeting rooms for workshops or presentations.
The site also sells meeting packages, flexible workspaces, company parties, Christmas events and walking dinners. Trade fairs of up to 400 people fit on the connected rooms on one level. Rooms for workshops and product presentations, with demonstration or video equipment, are available too.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages we read do not offer weddings. The building does host private parties and farewell ceremonies.
Rooms and capacities
The Theaterzaal has a retractable grandstand and a stated maximum of 400 people for congresses. The grandstand can be pushed in within fifteen minutes to give a flat floor. The room is on the ground floor and can be combined with the Foyer and the Boudewijn de Groot hall. The Theaterzaal is listed at 250 square meters.
The Boudewijn de Groot hall has a flat floor and holds 20 to 150 people on 160 square meters, depending on the layout. The Foyer holds 20 to 200 people on 250 square meters. It is the catering space, directly connected to the other two rooms, and is used for receptions, breaks, lunches and dinners. The site counts seven multifunctional meeting spaces in total, from a boardroom to a congress hall.
Catering
Catering comes from the in-house kitchen. The team prepares as many dishes as possible on site and suggests a food option to fit each congress. Lunch, buffets and walking dinners are on the menu pages. A lunch café operates in the same building.
History and setting
Bogerd is a cultural center with a theater, a cinema, a library and a lunch café. It is also a day-activity location for people with an intellectual disability, and the official site notes the social purpose of the building. Public events run through the year, and external organisers can rent the rooms for their own events.
Getting there
The center is at Van Heemstraweg 53 in Druten, in the Rivierenland area of Gelderland. Free parking is available. The pages we read do not name a railway station or an airport, so ask the team for directions if guests arrive by train.
