SHELTER610 – The Media Playground
This historic and green location is a hub for innovation and creative disruption.
800m2 of space for inspiration, innovation and creative disruption at Park Vliegbasis Soesterberg
Looking for a centrally located location in the Netherlands for meetings, workshops, heath sessions or other events? Kom naar SHELTER610! This unique venue is located at the Soesterberg Airbase Park. On this historic airbase, you can receive groups in a shelter of 800 square meters. A unique place where heritage, technology, creativity, and nature come together.
During the Cold War, the Soesterberg Airbase was a NATO base where planes performed daily test flights and were ready to take off 24/7 in enormous shelters. Nowadays, it is a protected nature reserve, and a shelter has been arranged as an inspiring and interactive space for meetings, training, or hybrid or online events.
An interactive and creative surrounding as an inspiring environment for your event
This location is based on a special concept. The shelter houses all sorts of interactive and immersive installations by media art collective DROPSTUFF MEDIA. In this project, the various installations are always connected to the stories of tomorrow, the imagination of creative processes, and the wonder of new technological possibilities. It offers the perfect start to dissect problems and opportunities and develop new ideas. In this completely unique ‘new media playground’, your guests can experience the possibilities of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, or artificial intelligence, for example. The location thus forms the perfect starting point and context for joint innovation or transformation processes.
Meet and present in the shelter
The shelter is equipped with a large central transparent dome tent and smaller spaces for break-out sessions. We are happy to work with you to determine the goals of your day and explore possibilities for speakers, moderators, workshop formats, and technical equipment. With our audio and video systems, lighting, tables, chairs, and flipcharts, you can rest assured that you have the perfect base for your meeting. For refreshments, we offer a high-quality selection of coffee/tea, snacks, drinks, lunch, brunch, cocktails, and dinner options. We would be happy to provide you with a customized package in collaboration with our caterer.
Take a break and enjoy nature!
At this location, you can take a perfect break as the shelter is located in the middle of a nature reserve. We offer unique walks and bike tours through the surroundings of the airbase, led by a guide from the ‘Utrechts Landschap’, which have been highly appreciated by guests who have already visited SHELTER610!
Centrally located, for small and large groups
The Park Vliegbasis Soesterberg is centrally located along the A28 highway between Utrecht and Amersfoort and can be reached by both car and public transportation. Free parking is available on site, and buses run from Den Dolder station. OV-bikes are available at Den Dolder (1.8 km) and Bilthoven (3.5 km) stations, and we can also offer bike rentals.
Shelter 610 is set up for groups of up to approximately 60 people as standard, but larger groups are possible upon consultation. In collaboration with the ‘Utrechts Landschap’, a second shelter can be used as a large plenary hall with a shared capacity of around 450 guests. The outdoor space directly in front of the shelter can also be used, providing a beautiful environment, particularly in the spring and summer months.
