Hart van Holland is an event complex in Nijkerk, in the centre of the Netherlands, that organisers hire for congresses, company parties, corporate festivals, trade fairs and business dinners. A congress takes from 500 to 1,100 people in plenary, and a company party can reach 3,000 guests. The complex sits directly on the A28, near Amersfoort, with 1,000 free parking spaces and Hotel Ampt van Nijkerk on the same grounds.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists corporate parties, corporate festivals, congresses, trade fairs, dinners and special productions such as galas and concerts. A congress day can open with a plenary session in the Passe-Partout, then split into the small rooms for sub-sessions. The team takes over production, including catering, technology, decoration, transport and entertainment, and each client gets one fixed contact person. The hall can be hired exclusively.
Rooms and capacities
De Loods is a raw industrial hall of 6,000 m². It takes more than 2,500 people in plenary and up to 3,250 standing, and trucks and food trucks can drive in, so a festival can run indoors. The Passe-Partout is a multifunctional floor of 1,050 m² with technical equipment that can be styled in your branding. The site also lists a Theater, a Plein (a square used as a lounge or chill-out area) and a Buitenplaats Terras with fire baskets and lighting. Seven small rooms and break-out rooms, from boardrooms of 10 people to larger workshop rooms, have modern screens, fast internet and daylight, and can carry your own branding. The congress page speaks of five break-out spaces, so confirm the number for your date.
Accommodation
Hotel Ampt van Nijkerk stands on the grounds and has 110 rooms, which allows a second congress day with overnight stays and hotel service next door. The website does not describe the room categories.
Catering
The in-house kitchen works with a head chef who composes dinners for business events, from seated dinners to buffets and food trucks inside the hall. A festival can add a late-night snack or a winter barbecue on the terrace.
History and setting
The company describes 30 years of experience in events. Its base is an industrial hall with an outdoor area, which makes it flexible for a trade fair, a congress or a corporate festival whatever the weather.
Getting there
Nijkerk railway station is served by bus 142 to the site. By car, the venue is directly on the A28. From Utrecht the drive is about half an hour, from Amsterdam about three quarters of an hour and from The Hague or Rotterdam a little over an hour. The 1,000 free parking spaces include charging points.
