De Kaap is an event site at Strandweg 1 in Zoelen, in the center of the Netherlands, for company events of 10 up to 3,000 guests. It covers 14 hectares of woodland and water, with eight spaces, three hospitality points, its own kitchen and AV technology. Organizers use it for seminars, meetings, product launches, company parties and festivals, or hire the whole site.
Seminars and company events
A seminar or congress can run for 10 to 500 participants. The site pairs a plenary room with a stage and AV technology with break-out spaces within walking distance, coffee breaks outdoors, lunch by the water and a closing drinks reception on the terrace. The site publishes a typical congress day: reception with coffee in Het Baken at 9:00, a plenary opening with a keynote at 9:30, break-out sessions across Het Kompas and the Beachclub at 11:00, lunch at the water at 12:30, workshops from 1:30 p.m., a short energizer activity at 3:30 p.m. and a plenary close with drinks on the Moai Terras at 4:30 p.m. The program is built to order. Hybrid or online participation is possible. For larger formats, the venue lists a company festival, an event of 1,000 or more people and full-site hire for up to 3,000 guests.
Rooms and capacities
The venue speaks of eight hotspots in total, with capacities from 10 to 3,000 guests. The named spaces are Het Kompas, Het Baken, the Beachclub, the Festivalplein, Woud van Licht and the Moai Terras. The site does not publish a capacity for each space in the pages we read, so ask for the figure for the layout you want. Spaces can be combined into a program that runs from reception to after-party, and extra rooms can be added at short notice.
Accommodation
Overnight stays are possible on the site, and the venue promotes multi-day events with food and lodging. It does not state the number of beds or rooms in the pages we read, so ask for it if you plan an overnight program.
Catering
The site has its own kitchen and three hospitality points, so lunches, dinners and drinks are handled in-house. Technique is also provided by the venue's own team. The team describes a local advisory approach, with staff who recommend the room, the layout, the catering, the technology and the atmosphere together.
History and setting
De Kaap states 25 years of experience in organizing events. The site includes a lake, a tropical-style beach club, a festival square and large indoor spaces. Activities can be added to any program, from the Expeditie Robinson and Wipeout formats to tastings and virtual-reality games, both indoors and outdoors.
Getting there
The site is central in the Netherlands, directly on the A15 motorway. Free parking is provided for 300 or more cars and coaches. By public transport, a bus runs from Tiel or Geldermalsen station. The address is Strandweg 1, 4011 LZ Zoelen.
