Recently we were able to provide a wonderful corporate party with all kinds of medieval entertainment.

The location they chose was Oosterhof Castle in Rijssen.

We have a large central show of a👉Fire Breather. A custom-made show with a very flexible and experienced fire artist. He made beautiful cascades, ellipses, cubes and all other conceivable shapes. Blowing a flame? Eating fire? Everything was possible. With fire breather, the artist takes a sip of a fuel with which he sprays over a torch. This gives a spectacular jet of flame.

Or magical and astonishing scenes with Floris Sant, the Medieval Magician.

Cartoonist Mimile made sure that many guests received a funny cartoon of themselves.

The ladies of 't Belevenis Geselschap brought all kinds of games from the past and from the Middle Ages.

Hire these and many more re-enactment entertainers to transform your event or occasion into the time of Knights and castles. On our sister website they are categorized under Musicians, Entertainers and Crafts.

During the launch of the new logo of the Belgian Shipping Association (BSV), our photographer welcomed all the guests on the Red Carpet. Including Minister Annelies Verlinden, who shortly afterwards collected her printed photo in a high-quality photo folder with a smile.

📸 With our mobile photo studio we can work at any location and in all circumstances. After the photos have been shot, we immediately start editing, printing and pasting the images.

🚀 In one hour we can easily capture up to 250 people, after which we edit, print and paste all the photos in just one hour.

🔥 Red Carpet photography with prints in folders is a perfect - personal and physical - memory of your event.

When E&C planned their annual seminar, they looked for something more than a typical retreat. As they were inviting team members from all over the world, they wanted an experience that would inspire creativity, strengthen team bonds and hit them with a 'wow-effect'. So, DAFT seminars team took them back in time to the late '60s, transforming the entire Daft facilities into a 'Mini-Woodstock'.

For two days, the boutique hotel became a backstage lounge, the glamping site a buzzing festival village and the Dome the heart of it all, hosting workshops and conferences by day and live music by night. Employees recorded a company anthem, gathered around campfires and recharged in this natural setting, far from the daily hustle. An immersive and unforgettable event.

But beyond the excitement, what are the real benefits of a seminar like this?

🔹 Stronger Team Bonds: Shared moments, like writing a team song, dancing together to live musicians, build trust and camaraderie. Studies show that informal experiences improve teamwork and engagement.

🔹 Better Communication: Immersive settings (and the Hippie look) certainly break barriers. Instead of structured talks, teams connect through fun, creative projects and outdoor challenges.

🔹 Boosting Creativity: Stepping outside routine sparks fresh ideas. The mix of music, nature and collaboration encouraged innovation and new ways of thinking.

🔹 Building Resilience: Performances and challenges push employees outside their comfort zones, developing confidence and adaptability.

🔹 Lasting Impact: The best seminars don’t end when the event is over. They create memories, strengthen company culture and drive long-term engagement.

E&C’s ‘Mini-Woodstock’ wasn’t just fun, it was an investment on their team. Leaving them with this question: How do they top it next year?
