Sand Fabrik takes seminars, study days, team-building events, company parties, afterwork evenings, product launches, film shoots, weddings and birthdays, for groups of 10 to 300 people. The venue is an indoor beach of 1,300 square meters of fine sand with four beach-sport courts, a bar-restaurant, a mezzanine and a soundproofed meeting room. It stands at 45 rue Delizy in Pantin, just outside Paris.
Seminars and company events
The plenary space, La Dune, takes up to 300 people for a conference, convention, kick-off or general assembly. It has a 13 square meter giant screen, a projector and wireless microphones, and the audience can sit on deckchairs or chairs. Layouts include theater, U-shape, cabaret and cocktail. The Mezzanine suits workshops and breakouts, and a soundproofed meeting room seats 20 (25 standing) with a 65-inch screen and a view of the courts, for a board meeting or a small session. Flipcharts and internet access are provided throughout.
Team building is the venue's specialty. Staff run three hosted games of two to three hours for up to 200 players, with a podium and prizes: an olympiad, an adventure game inspired by a TV survival show, and a castaway game for 60 or more. A larger fair-style challenge takes 300. Teams can also play beach volleyball, beach soccer, tennis or badminton on the sand, or quizzes and blind tests for up to 300. Billiards, table football, ping-pong and cornhole are free to use.
For evenings, the venue supplies DJ sets, concerts, sound and lighting, karaoke, a photo booth and a samba show. Each event has a dedicated contact and a coordinator on the day, with technical and logistics support.
Weddings and receptions
Sand Fabrik sells private hire for weddings, family parties, religious celebrations, birthdays and leaving parties. Clients can hire one space or the whole venue for up to 300 guests, then choose catering, bar options and activities.
