High-calibre corporate events

High-calibre corporate events at Kasteelhoeve De Grote Hegge
Anyone organising a corporate event is looking for more than just a venue. You’re looking for a venue that reflects your organisation’s image, adapts flexibly to your requirements and immediately sets the right tone for your guests. De Grote Hegge offers exactly that.

Situated in the picturesque village of Thorn, this historic castle farmstead combines charm with professionalism and versatility. As part of the Event Management Group, you’ll also benefit from much more than just a unique venue. From concept development and hospitality to technical support, catering and operational management: EMG takes care of the entire organisation, so you can focus on your guests and your event. This allows you to keep the focus on your guests, whilst we ensure that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

A historic setting that inspires
From the moment you drive onto the estate, you’ll immediately sense the character of De Grote Hegge. Its historic charm and waterside setting create an atmosphere that exudes exclusivity without ever feeling aloof. It is precisely this combination that makes this venue ideal for a wide range of business gatherings: from strategic sessions and client events to conferences, dinners and other corporate functions.

The various rooms within the castle farm are characterised by authentic features, such as sturdy walls and distinctive beamed ceilings. Yet you needn’t compromise on modern conveniences. Each room is equipped with professional audiovisual facilities, high-speed Wi-Fi and all the technical support you’ll need for your event.

From a practical point of view, too, De Grote Hegge is a logical choice. Thanks to its central location in Limburg, close to the A2, the venue is easily accessible to guests from both the Netherlands and Belgium. The ample on-site parking facilities round off the welcome.

Room for expansion: flexibility with tents
One of the most unique aspects of De Grote Hegge is the seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. The castle farmstead is situated near the Maasplassen, which creates an unparalleled sense of space. Although the indoor spaces already offer considerable capacity, we understand that some corporate events require even more space or a specific atmosphere.

That is why we offer the option of adding luxury marquees, either directly on or around the venue. This allows you to organise large-scale events without losing the characteristic atmosphere of the castle farm. Think, for example, of a summer networking drinks reception, a spectacular dining area or an open-air presentation. The surrounding countryside completes the setting.
