Jamming with a cup of hot chocolate

The Winter Jam takes place at our beautiful location “De Beukenhof” in Biezenmortel. Biezenmortel is located near ‘s Hertogenbosch, one hour from Amsterdam.

The location used to be a monastery and often hosts music groups due to its fine acoustics. It can cater to around 200 guests.

The spacious garden with different sitting areas allows for spontaneous outdoor workshops or jams. And there is a great variety of teaching rooms, a concert hall and two bar areas, one of which is the central meeting place during camps.
