This venue tip is not one meeting venue, but four! The Playing Circle in Amsterdam has four meeting venues spread throughout Amsterdam. The meeting venues have very different looks. For example, there is an old theatre, concert hall and a former studio. But despite these differences, all four have the same ambiance. This is because each space has a homely atmosphere, with the unusual being central. But above all, they are four inspiring locations, right in the centre of Amsterdam and easily accessible by public transport.
Beautiful furniture, perfectly styled tables and unique art on the wall or floor. The locations of The Playing Circle are a delight to look at. Not surprisingly, because behind these four venues is an Amsterdam-based interior design agency. The agency not only offers the aforementioned four meeting venues. They also transform every space into a lofty space. As such, you can clearly see this at The Playing Circle's venues. "We have a deeply rooted love for natural materials - and a rather unsubtle aversion from non-recycled plastic". This philosophy is well reflected in The Playing Circle's four meeting rooms. Atelier de Vijzel, the Cristofori Concert Hall, the Vaudeville Theatre and the Vaudeville Library are all loft-worthy locations full of natural materials. An ideal place to let your creativity run wild.
Atelier de Vijzel is located in the city centre. Previously, it was a studio for a large men's fashion house. Now it is a bright meeting room for up to 58 people. At the front, the venue has a spacious seating area suitable as a break-out room. At the back is the meeting area overlooking the canal gardens. The venue is easily accessible by tram. Parking garage APCOA Prins & Keizer is within walking distance.
Two joined warehouses from the 17th century have been an inspiring place for musicians, artists and culture lovers for more than 40 years. The 5-metre-high ceiling literally gives creative ideas space here. The venue is grand and has a separate lobby. This makes it the perfect meeting location to work in different groups. The Cristofori Concert Hall is easy to reach by tram. Parking garage Q-park Europarking is within walking distance.
Before it Vaudeville Theatre became a spacious but homely meeting venue, it was actually a Vaudeville theatre. Vaudeville theatre is actually the forerunner of today's cabaret and stand-up comedy. Located on the top floor of the former theatre, the meeting venue has an 8 (!) metre-high ceiling. This makes the venue feel very spacious. Yet its thoughtful interior gives it a homely feel.
On the ground floor of the former theatre, you'll find another location of The Playing Ground. The Vaudeville Library. A chic space for smaller face-to-face meetings. The space is also suitable as a break-out room in combination with the Vaudeville Theatre.
The location is easily accessible by tram. Parking garage APCOA Prins & Keizer is within walking distance.
