Every month, we organize a community meet-up with activities to meet new people and get to know our community. In August, we're visiting abbey Koningshoeve! 🌍♥️

What to expect

We love to introduce internationals to culture in the Netherlands. On cycle distance from Tilburg, there is a beautiful abbey brewing their own beer. We're visiting the place to enjoy a drink. Join us for a cultural trip!

Our mission is to sparkle genuine connections. Join us during this event to hang out with your friends, meet new people, and become part of our growing and vibing international community! In case it will be your first time, we will have volunteers present to introduce you to others. Don't feel shy, as usually one third of the crowd is new.

About the abbey

Abdij Koningshoeven, nestled in the Netherlands, is a serene Trappist monastery renowned for its rich history and dedication to brewing exceptional Trappist ales. The abbey, founded in 1884, boasts picturesque surroundings and a tranquil atmosphere conducive to contemplation. Visitors can experience the monastery's brewing legacy at the "proeflokaal," where a variety of meticulously crafted beers are offered, providing a taste of the monks' centuries-old brewing tradition in a welcoming and authentic setting.

Tickets

We like to do things differently, that is why we provide most of our events free of charge. We work with a placeholder ticket system, so you book a ticket which will be refunded if you show up*. You will be able to donate the proceedings of your ticket to International Center. We create these events with a non-profit ideology and will invest the donation into the well-being of the international community. So by donating, you will have fun and support others as well. Win-win!

*If you are not in the situation to order a placeholder ticket due to financial reasons, please send us an email and we will work it out! If you want to cancel your reservation, inform us at least 48 hours prior to the event and we will provide a full refund.

Location

We will gather at the entrance of Koningshoeve at 14.00. We are only visiting the garden with the cafe, so if you want to go on an excursion, you can book it separately via their website.
