Team building at De Kruitfabriek in Vilvoorde

De Kruitfabriek is an old factory building on the Brussels-Willebroek canal in Vilvoorde. Since 2014 it has had a temporary new use: alongside the event halls it houses young entrepreneurs, a circus school, a music school and studios. Its industrial character has been kept as far as possible, and that gives a team day here a tone of its own. The halls are rented to companies only and are meant for those who want to take their team out of its comfort zone. The basic comforts are there, but do not expect a polished seminar venue: the operators themselves advise a visit beforehand. If that raw setting is exactly what you want, you are in the right place. A building like this suits a team building where teams make something. Chain Reaction only works if every team finishes its part of the chain reaction on time, Detour has you juggle tasks and distractions with humour, and in Code Crackers you decipher codes and puzzles together. Add a lunch or reception and you have a full company day in Vilvoorde.
