The Stingerbol \u2013 a unique bastion of art, culture, food, business and education.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most striking buildings at the World Food Center site is the Stingerbol. This mysterious spherical building once served as a training centre for anti-aircraft missiles and is unique in its class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building\u2019s unusual shape makes anything possible \u2013 Exhibitions, meetings, presentations, debates. Organise activities and performances at the interface of science, entertainment and education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stingerbol wishes to make an inspiring contribution to and make the link between art, culture and food so that visitors and users can eat more healthily, think and act more sustainably and get close to art and culture. Ultimately, to the benefit of their wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maurits barracks \u2013 an atmospheric industrial conference venue for your events<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maurits barracks were built between 1904 and 1906 in neo-Renaissance style. The stately entrance, high ceilings and large arched windows give this location a unique appearance. The industrial look is further emphasised by the interior, which is constructed primarily of reused materials. The barracks can accommodate up to 600 guests in style (250 to 300 for a plenary in the large hall). We have twelve, flexible break-out areas for smaller groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The location not only has an inspiring past, but a story for the future as well. What you eat and drink here comes from local farmers, bakers and food producers. Tasty, honest, sustainable and future-proof. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Smook & Smaak \u2013 where food and the Veluwe come together<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Smook & Smaak BBQ concept is located at the assault course, where businesses and individuals can book complete packages. Here, the joy of food is combined with outdoor living, a slower pace, experience and pure and honest enjoyment. Smook & Smaak is adventurous, connecting and relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just imagine \u2013 after a guided nature walk with a group of friends, working on your meal, while enjoying a drink. A nice crackling fire is burning in the outdoor stoves and the atmosphere is relaxed. You enjoy one another\u2019s company and to top it all off, you get to enjoy your own home-cooked meal together!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor opportunities \u2013 let nature connect you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Veluwe literally flows in to the World Food Center! The beautiful green surroundings are a popular location for successful food events such as FoodUnplugged, St\u00f6rrig and Eten op Rolletjes. The WFC has a number of outdoor venues for events:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assault course<\/strong>The assault course (stormbaan) is ideal for small-scale sustainable events (up to 750 people). It is a unique spot, with the old assault course elements still visible amongst the forest landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De App\u00e8lplaats<\/strong>The old app\u00e8lplaats between the barracks is a nice location for small events within sight of the barracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Frisopark<\/strong> There is a nice location in front of the barracks in the Frisopark for events within sight of the barracks. This area is suitable for somewhat larger events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
