Getting there and practical details

Neighborhood: Máximapark, De Meern, Utrecht

Rare Jongens is a meeting and training venue for groups of 2 to 20 people, in De Meern, part of the city of Utrecht. The whole site is rented to one group at a time, so there are no other guests, no reception desk and no passing traffic. It suits management meetings, strategy days, trainings, workshops and team days.

Seminars and company events

The venue calls itself exclusive for a single group. The organiser books the entire location, which is a former restaurant with a lot of daylight and a view of greenery. The meeting setup seats 20 people. Several seating corners and break-out spots, indoors and outdoors, allow informal conversations between sessions.

The site is aimed at focused work rather than large gatherings. The official site lists the formats it handles: brainstorms, board and management meetings, strategy and planning days, kick-offs, workshops, trainings, client meetings and confidential discussions. It also says plainly that a congress for hundreds of visitors, dozens of meeting rooms under one roof or a hotel with overnight stays are better found elsewhere.

Rooms and capacities

There is one main space for a group of 2 to 20 people. A screen, a flip-over or whiteboard, a microphone and a sound system are included with the hire between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Outdoor areas around the building can be used for breaks or small group work.

Catering

Food comes from the venue's own kitchen. A freshly prepared lunch is served during a meeting or training, with allergies taken into account. Fruit, something sweet and coffee keep the day going. Tea, coffee and water are offered as a package, while soft drinks, beer and wine are charged separately. A closing drinks session with snacks or canapés can be added at the end of the day.

Accommodation

There is no accommodation on site. The official site states that guests looking mainly for a hotel with overnight stays should choose another venue.

History and setting

The building stands in the Máximapark, next to Castellum Hoge Woerd, a reconstructed Roman fort, on ground linked to the UNESCO-listed Roman frontier. The name of the company refers to this Roman past. A visit to the Roman museum or a walk in the park can be combined with a meeting day.
