Events and group outings
in Almelo
From children's party to staff outing. One programme made to measure, at your home, in the hall or on the grounds you already have.
From a small party to a whole club
In Almelo, enquiries range from a children's party for ten children to a day for a whole club. That calls for a different set-up each time, but the same way of working: we devise and build the programme ourselves and run it at the place you already have. A canteen, a clubhouse, a garden or a piece of land is usually enough, and Vincent is there on the day itself.
Group size is the first thing we want to know. It determines the set-up more strongly than the theme, the budget or the season.
What changes as the group grows?
With each step up in size, it is mainly the planning that changes, not the idea:
6 to 15 people
A small group that usually already knows each other well. Here a programme works in which everyone takes part the whole time and nothing needs to run in parallel. Think of a children's party, a small family occasion or an evening with a regular club.
15 to 40 people
The size at which team competitions work best. There are enough people for three or four teams, and the result stays tight until the end. At this size we add hosts so the activities can run side by side.
40 people or more
From here on it is all about planning. We split the group into blocks that rotate around the activities, so nobody has to wait. Club days, neighbourhood parties and staff days usually fall into this category.
For clubs and neighbourhoods
- Club days with several activities
- Neighbourhood parties with a team for each street
- Anniversaries of clubs and foundations
For families and companies
- Children's parties at home, in the garden or in a small hall
- Family days that three generations join in
- Staff outings and team days on your own site
Where the programme runs in Almelo
Almelo is 25 minutes from our base in Enschede, so we bring all the equipment to you. Where the programme runs depends on the group: a garden in Windmolenbroek or the Schelfhorst, a clubhouse at a sports park, a community centre in De Riet or the Sluitersveld, or a stretch of company grounds along the canal.
For an outdoor programme with a larger group, the Beeklustpark and the Schelfhorstpark work well, and for a dropping (Dutch night-time orienteering game) or a walking route, the Nijreesbos on the south side of the city. At a public place we check beforehand whether anything needs to be arranged.
The villages around it fall within the same area: Bornerbroek and Aadorp are part of the municipality, and Wierden, Vriezenveen, Borne and Tubbergen are a quarter of an hour's drive away.

How big can a group be in Almelo?
A group of six is already fine, and above a hundred we work with teams and extra hosts. What changes is not the concept but the set-up: with a large group we make sure there is never a queue of people waiting.
We are a club. Can you fill a whole day?
We regularly fill a club day with several activities one after another. The structure is different from a short programme: we build in quiet moments, alternate active and seated parts, and make sure there can be something to eat halfway through without the programme stalling.
Do you also do parties at people's homes or in the garden?
Home and the garden are among the most requested places, especially for children's parties. Beforehand we look at the number of square metres, the ground surface and whether there is an indoor space in case it rains. If it's genuinely too tight, we say so and arrange a hall or clubhouse.
Can children and adults take part at the same time?
A mixed group is quite doable, as long as the programme is designed for it. We then make activities in which a seven-year-old and an uncle of fifty can both contribute, instead of separate activities side by side where half the group stands watching.
What does a group outing or children's party in Almelo cost?
A compact programme starts at €195. After the first conversation you get a concrete price.
Do you also come to Wierden, Vriezenveen or Bornerbroek?
Yes. All of Twente is our regular working area and those places are a quarter of an hour from Almelo. We bring all the equipment to you, and the programme is the same as in Almelo itself.
Do you have your own venue in Almelo?
No, and that's deliberate. We build the programme at the place you already have, from garden to clubhouse to company grounds. If you don't have a place, we'll help think about a hall or an outdoor venue in Almelo that suits the group size.
