Gerrits Tuin is a versatile event venue in Zwolle where organizers are given space for creative, social, and entrepreneurial initiatives. The grounds are situated on the Willemsvaart, close to the city center and the Zwolle Railway Zone. Spanning approximately 2,500 square meters, the location accommodates a wide range of activities, from lectures, exhibitions, and workshops to children's activities, performances, neighborhood initiatives, and small-scale corporate events.

The venue consists of a spacious outdoor area, an amphitheater, and De Fabriek, a characterful Romney shed featuring a transparent section of approximately 11 by 17 meters and a more enclosed space of approximately 11 by 8 meters. This allows organizers to combine various elements of their program. Examples include an indoor reception, a presentation in the amphitheater, and additional activities on the outdoor grounds. The basic layout is deliberately simple, enabling initiators to design and decorate their event themselves.

Gerrits Tuin is equipped with electricity, water connections, a private Wi-Fi network, mood lighting in the shed, two toilets, and a waste container. The location is car-free. Parking for larger events can be arranged in consultation. For events with more than 250 visitors, usage agreements and any associated costs will be discussed jointly.

Applications are processed via a practical checklist. This takes into account the type of initiative, the date, expected visitor numbers, noise levels, and required facilities. The organizer remains responsible for any permits, notifications, and additional safety measures. Gerrits Tuin is particularly suitable for organizers seeking a characterful, flexible, and informal venue with room for their own ideas, local collaboration, and a distinctive program.
