Hall 033 at THE VALLEY takes company events, galas, concerts, private celebrations and general meetings for 300 to 600 guests, and up to about 720 at most. It is one of the event locations of THE VALLEY Eventfactory at Kemptpark 3 in Kemptthal, a restored industrial site between Zurich and Winterthur.
Seminars and company events
The hall is a single open space on the ground floor, which keeps a plenary, a dinner or an awards evening in one room. Layouts vary with the format: rows for a general assembly or product presentation, round tables for a gala, an open floor for a concert or party. The site's other locations, including the silo, Pioneer's Deck, the motorworld, the factories, the eateries, the kitchen lab and an open-air area, can be added for breakouts, team activities or a reception, since the Eventfactory offers event areas from 10 to 10,000 m². The business park has no residents nearby, so events can run as late as needed without a fixed curfew. Staff and the end time are agreed in advance so that the team can plan and obtain local permits. Renting the entire site, with every venue and outdoor area, is possible.
Weddings and receptions
The Eventfactory offers wedding packages, and the hall is listed for private celebrations. Couples receive the details of the packages from the events team on request.
Rooms and capacities
The hall's details give 650 m² (28 by 17.5 m) and a height of 11 m, while the page header states 530 m², so organisers should confirm the usable area for their layout. Capacity ranges from 300 to 600 guests, with a maximum of about 720. A factsheet and a capacity overview by layout can be downloaded from the venue's site, and a 360-degree virtual tour shows the space.
Catering
Outside caterers and food trucks are not allowed. Food comes from the in-house caterer, two approved external caterers or the venue's list of approved food trucks. Drinks are served under the venue's liquor license, with a contracted brewery and a wine and spirits supplier. An on-site technical partner handles staging, audiovisual equipment, video, photography and hybrid formats, and the team supports events from concept to execution.
Accommodation
The site has no hotel of its own. Several hotels and guesthouses lie nearby, and the team helps with room bookings for guests.
History and setting
The site is where food pioneer Julius Maggi developed the bouillon cube more than a century ago. Covering about 150,000 m², it has since become a mobility hub, and renovation of its protected industrial buildings began in 2018. The restored spaces keep their industrial character with modern infrastructure, set in greenery. Because the site lies within the protected zone of Zurich Airport, lasers are very difficult to approve, and fireworks need municipal permission.
Getting there
Kemptthal station is on the site, served every half hour by the S24, and the venue recommends public transport. For guests who drive, four parking areas offer 470 spaces in total, including accessible ones, and every space must be reserved before the event.
