The best place to meet & greet in Leiden!
Facilities
Are you looking for an inspiring place for a meetup, have a effective teambuilding session or a monthly company meeting? Our meeting venue "De Brandmeester" (The Firemaster) in Leiden is situated in a historical building in the city centre of Leiden. The building was used for drying firehoses and training firemen. In 2016 the building was transformed by architect and owner Jelle Verheijen and his wife Alice Clijncke. Today we rent out the garden room for meetings. The modern extension (30m²) has all kinds of facilities such as floor heating, good acoustics, thermal insulated glass and ventilation, but is above all a place to meet up in a comfortable environment, so that you have time for each other.
In De Brandmeester you can make use of our super fast WiFi network (600/70 Mbit/s) at your convenience. A full HD screen for presentations and/or a flipover is also available.
Our "make yourself at home" rule applies. Before the meeting we'll put cans of hot teawater, cold water and sweet savories in the room. In our pantry kitchen you'll find a Jura Barista for fresh coffee, cappuccino,espresso or a flat white. This is a selfservice, but what a great way to start the day!
We find it important to support local entrepreneurs and caterers. They offer a wide range of lunches. We'll provide you with information, so you can order your lunch. We'll provide the necessary plates, cutlery and we have a dishwasher to do the dishes.
