De Workshop Groningen runs team workshops, training days and private events in a converted vintage car garage on the ring road of Groningen. The venue takes 10 to 50 guests for team outings, presentations, symposia, company drinks and parties. A second location in the city center serves workshops that need no professional kitchen.
Seminars and company events
The core business is the team outing and team-building day. The most booked format is a workshop of about four hours, and training can also run over several days when the goal calls for it. The venue works only with groups that have registered in advance, and every program is tailored: light as a team outing, or more substantial as team building. The offer covers NLP communication training, setting boundaries, listening and reflection exercises, feedback, leadership, breathing and meditation sessions, creative workshops such as drawing, painting and caricature, singing and cooking workshops. The garage also serves as an event location for presentations with a projector, symposia with interactive sessions and company drinks. A workshop can be combined with drinks afterward, or with a meeting, lunch or drinks nearby when the group works in the center.
Rooms and capacities
The garage at Friesestraatweg 191-2 is a single open venue for 10 to 50 people. It has a cooking island above the old grease pit, the former showroom used for workshops, dinner and debriefing, a vintage DJ desk with vinyl records, a dartboard and a pool table. Culinary team building takes place only here, because the kitchen is here. The city-center location is available for workshops and training that need no professional kitchen. The site does not list its capacity or layouts.
Catering
Catering is made to measure and can be combined with a workshop. Cooking workshops range from Italian and Thai dishes to tapas and medieval cooking, and the team cooks and eats together. Dinner and drinks can follow in the former showroom.
History and setting
The garage is a former car workshop turned into a venue, and it keeps its vintage look: the grease pit, the showroom and the retro furniture are part of the experience. It stands on the Friesestraatweg, about five minutes by bike from the city center, on the ring road, with parking.
Getting there
The address is Friesestraatweg 191-2, 9743 AC Groningen. The garage is on the ring road about five minutes by bike from the center and has parking. The site gives no address for the city-center location.
