Scheltema Leiden is an event venue in a former blanket factory dating from the nineteenth century, right in the historic centre of Leiden. The building's industrial history is still clearly reflected in its character. Organisers can hire spaces here for business meetings, cultural activities and personal celebrations.

The venue has six different rooms: the Foyer, the Ketelhuis, the Theaterzaal, the Theatercafé, Expo 1 and the Zagerij. The spaces can be used individually or combined, depending on the programme and the number of guests. Together, they can accommodate groups of up to 700 people. There is also a terrace boat available outside.

Scheltema is suitable for meetings, training sessions, workshops, conferences, symposia, lectures and presentations, among other things. For festive occasions, organisers can hold weddings, dinners, drinks receptions and company parties here. The venue offers modern audiovisual facilities and a range of catering packages. Scheltema says it works mainly with local suppliers to organise events.

The central location is accessible by bicycle, car, bus and train. Leiden Centraal is within walking distance and the Lammermarkt car park is nearby. Scheltema also notes that wheelchair-friendly facilities are available. Organisers can view the rooms and enquire about availability, room hire and packages via the contact form or by telephone. This historic building therefore offers a wide range of options for gatherings, from a small meeting to a larger party or conference.
