Kick Off the Summer with Your Team – Teambuilding in The Hague

As summer approaches and your team members look forward to their well-deserved holidays, it might be the perfect time to organize a team day or strategy session before they “fly off.” Welcoming the summer together strengthens the bond within your team—a memory they’ll take with them and one that brings them back together. Teambuilding in The Hague 2.0. That is, if you make it special and unforgettable. A team day at Toussainthuis has everything to make it special. It’s up to you to make it unforgettable.

1. Inspiring location

Choose an inspiring location, a place and a building that tell a story on their own. The Toussainthuis in The Hague is one such place. Its location is exceptional and inviting. From the house, you overlook the West Singelsgracht and the gardens of the Royal Palace Noordeinde. With its attractive and central location, the Toussainthuis is easily accessible by bike, public transport or car. Parking is available right in front of the building or in the nearby parking garage. Historically, the Toussainthuis is a true gem of The Hague. For more than a century, it has played an important role in the city’s social and cultural life. Its rich history can be read in the monumental architecture, the interior design and especially in the stories of its residents and visitors. The historic Toussainthuis owes its name to the famous writer Anna Louise Geertruida Toussaint, who lived here with her husband, the renowned painter Johannes Bosboom. The studio where Bosboom created his masterpieces later became the reading room of The Hague’s first public library and today serves as a stylish and atmospheric space for your team meeting or off-site day.

2. The wow factor

Toussainthuis features a stunning plenary hall, our showroom, suitable for various setups. This hall has an impressive six-meter-high ceiling with indirect lighting, pleasant acoustics, and a comfortable climate, perfect for creating a wow effect. The space provides a calm atmosphere where people feel relaxed and engaged, fostering meaningful interaction. The hall can be arranged flexibly, with several breakout rooms and a modern kitchen available throughout the day. Many workshops are possible here. Fitting perfectly with the historical context, for instance, is a painting course—follow in the footsteps of Bosboom and conclude the session with a richly arranged reception. Of course, there are countless other ways to make your team day a success. You could, for example, cook together under the guidance of a private chef and turn the dinner into a team achievement—guaranteed team building.

3. Outdoor activities

As summer draws closer, there is a growing desire to include outdoor activities in your team building program at Toussainthuis in The Hague. On a warm day, nothing beats relaxing on the water. Right outside Toussainthuis, you can step aboard one of the canal boats or covered barges operated by De Ooievaart. Choose from one of their routes or themed tours, both relaxing and educational, or create your own custom sailing arrangement. If you prefer something more active, take a walking tour through the historic city center, just a short distance from Toussainthuis. There are several online walking routes available, from the Royal Tour, a royal walk through The Hague, to the Hip Shopping in The Hague route. Our favorite is the Local Heroes of the City Center route. Concept stores, cafés, galleries and exclusive boutiques, each a hidden gem offering unique products, just like Toussainthuis itself. As mentioned, the possibilities at and around this location are endless. Whether you are planning a cheerful summer drink with your team, a strategy day to celebrate midyear results, or any other great summer activity, Toussainthuis offers the perfect setting.
