A winter barbecue on the cosy terrace of hall Capponièra in Outfort.
The holidays are over, the days are short and the temperature is bottoming out. But that doesn’t mean you have to wait until spring to bring your team or clients together. Right now is the time to bring light into the darkness with an event that inspires and connects. At Outfort Hoboken, a historic gem in the middle of greenery, they offer you everything you need to make that happen.
A location with character makes the difference
The venue you choose sets the tone for your event. At Outfort, no space is standard. The arched Main Front Hall provides an impressive setting for large meetings and dinners. For smaller groups or personal sessions, the Officers’ Rooms are an ideal choice. Want to combine your event indoors and outdoors? The Capponièra has some patio heaters so you can also enjoy the fresh winter air for a while. Still too cold? Then you can quickly go back inside.
With the combination of historical charm and modern facilities, such as free Wi-Fi and ample parking, Outfort aims to give every guest a warm welcome – even in these cold winter months.
Meetings in a historic fortress? It’s possible in Outfort’s Main Front room
Create bright spots in the darkness
In winter, we all cry out for some extra light and warmth. Outfort’s historic halls lend themselves perfectly to atmospheric lighting. Candles, garlands of lights and fire pits that you can bring yourself add a pleasant touch to the rooms. The fort’s robust architecture does the rest.
Outfort’s spaces are flexible with your desired decoration, bringing any theme to life. Do you opt for a fairytale winter wonderland or rather a sleek decor? Outfort provides plates, cutlery and table linen, but the team is happy to help with other details that make a difference.
Combine work and relaxation
A winter event is the perfect time to combine work and relaxation. For example, start the day with a strategic meeting in the Main Front Room, followed by informal drinks or dinner in the Capponièra. Such a combination offers a natural transition between business focus and winter cosiness.
With the different spaces, you can easily put together a programme that suits your goals. Alternate serious sessions with relaxing moments, so your guests go home inspired and recharged – all the more important in these dark months.
Sniff the winter outdoors
You read it right. Getting outside is also important in winter. At Outfort, they also organise various winter outdoor activities. Think of an energetic walk around the fort, a teambuilding activity such as the Brialmont game or a laser shoot in the corridors of the fort. You are guaranteed to be warm again afterwards!
With the combination of heated indoor areas and well-organised outdoor activities, you offer your guests a complete experience. The team makes sure everything runs smoothly. All you have to do is enjoy.
Culinary enjoyment with seasonal dishes
Good food is often the focus of a good event. And they understand that at Outfort. Partnering with JÖRD Catering ensures a culinary experience that will stay with your guests. JÖRD’s chefs carefully prepare the most delicious seasonal dishes for your winter event.
Will you opt for a walking dinner? Or do they rather please you with a winter barbecue? JÖRD’s dishes are sure to steal the show.
