De Tuinderij hosts company outings, meetings, jubilees and staff parties for groups from 20 people in De Lier, in the Westland greenhouse region. Five lounge rooms seat 35 to 250 guests, a meeting package starts at 25 people, and a custom package covers 20 to 500 people. The venue is open only for private bookings, not for walk-in guests.
Seminars and company events
The meeting package is for groups from 25 people and pairs small and large meeting rooms with catering and optional activities. The style is informal, modeled on a grandmother's living room, and the site describes it as an environment that supports creativity. Teams can add short activities between sessions, and all the greenhouse activities can be combined with the meeting package. Games on De Wurft, such as table tennis, air hockey, foosball and shuffleboard, are included with every booking.
The venue also lists company outings, team building, jubilees, staff parties and birthdays. It won the Gouden Award for best event location in the Netherlands in 2025, according to its own site. Groups under 20 adults are not the usual target, though the site mentions reservations from 15 adults when a booking already exists that day.
Rooms and capacities
The venue calls its rooms huiskamers, and each has a nostalgic 1960s look. De Tuinderij is the largest, for up to 250 guests, with a projector and screen, audio equipment, a wireless microphone and a large terrace on the water. De Venlokas takes up to 90 guests, borders De Wurft and has two covered areas for a barbecue, with a view over the Midden-Delfland polders. De Eenruiter takes up to 50. Platglas covers 50 square meters and takes up to 35. De Breedkapper, added in 2014, is the smallest, takes up to 35 and has a projector and audio equipment.
Every room has two stocked refrigerators and glassware, so guests can pour their own drinks. Room screens adapt the larger rooms to smaller groups, and table layouts change with each booking.
Catering
The venue lists receptions, buffets, lunch or dinner, drinks with snacks and an unlimited drinks package. The program is built around your group, so ask for the format that matches your schedule. Bus transport can be arranged on request.
History and setting
The site sits in a working greenhouse area of the Westland. The look of the rooms is nostalgic, and the venue describes an old-Dutch atmosphere. Activities take place in the greenhouse itself, including curling and sumo wrestling, and a playground for children sits next to De Venlokas.
Getting there
The address is Van Wijklaan 2, 2678 NJ De Lier. Bus transport is offered on request, and the official site has a route calculator.
