Can I include the Drift Museum in my event?
Yes. Even if your event takes place in another space in the halls, you can add a visit to the Drift Museum to the programme and take your guests into the world of Studio Drift.
Can I bring my own caterer?
No, Motief Events is the in-house caterer. That is a deliberate choice: with several production kitchens spread across the whole building, we make sure every space gets good, high-quality catering. The kitchen cooks seasonally, and dietary needs and your own ideas are welcome in the menu conversation.
How late can my event run?
Most spaces are available until 11 pm, the meeting rooms until midnight. In the museum, end times and sound levels are set per event. The end time for your space is listed on its page.
Is every event welcome in the halls?
No. We choose events that suit the building and the museum, and we keep the central axis free for programmes with cultural or substantive value. Tell us your plan and we will say quickly whether it works.
What does a space cost?
Rates are on request. We work with a single proposal in which venue, catering, technology and service come together, so you know exactly where you stand instead of a room rate plus unknown extras.
Would you like to request a quote?
Share the occasion, the number of guests and your preferred date, and we will get in touch about the options.
