Our Circle of Venues
in Amsterdam

Sometimes, a change of scenery is all it takes to see things differently. To step away from the everyday, make room for new ideas and give people the space to connect, create and play. 

The Playing Circle offers inspiring venues in the heart of Amsterdam for meetings, workshops, training sessions and events. Each venue has its own character, designed to make people feel comfortable, welcome and at home.

The Playing Circle is not only about inspiring places its about inspiring people. 

Because a venue only truly comes to life through the people in it. For over 20 years, we have been creating environments where people feel comfortable and at home, encouraging fresh thinking, meaningful conversations and new perspectives. That’s how creativity comes to full bloom.

Sometimes, stepping outside your usual circle is exactly what you need to see things differently, make room for new ideas and move forward. It’s the days of play that lead to perfection.

TRUSTED BY 3800+ PARTNERS
