De Reehorst

De Reehorst is a conference centre, theatre and hotel located in Ede, in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It stands on the Bennekomseweg, just south of Ede-Wageningen railway station and opposite the former ENKA industrial site. The venue was opened in 1932 as a recreation building for the employees of the ENKA factory, and it originally included a theatre hall with cinema facilities. Over the decades it developed into a multi-purpose events location that today combines congress and meeting facilities, a theatre, a hotel and spaces for private and corporate celebrations. According to its official website, ReeHorst in Ede offers 39 halls and a central location, presenting itself as an ideal venue for both festive and business events, ranging from congresses to weddings and from anniversaries to birthday parties. This breadth of use — conferences, theatre performances, corporate gatherings, weddings and other celebrations — makes it a notable regional events destination in the Netherlands. The name Reehorst also appears in the nearby Reehorsterweg and in the names of several Ede sports clubs, which are linked to the historical Omnivereniging Sportclub Reehorst. A sports hall stands behind the conference centre. The venue is therefore both a commercial events brand and a long-standing part of the local social and industrial heritage of Ede.

De Reehorst was opened in 1932 as a recreation building for the personnel of the ENKA factory, a major industrial employer in Ede. At that time it included a theatre hall equipped with cinema facilities, serving the leisure and cultural needs of the factory workforce. The building is situated on the Bennekomseweg, south of the Ede-Wageningen railway station and opposite the former ENKA site, placing it at the heart of the industrial and social life of the area. Over time, the facility evolved from a workers' recreation building into a broader conference centre and theatre. A hotel was added, and the location became used for corporate and private parties as well. Today it operates as a multi-purpose events venue with 39 halls, hosting congresses, theatre performances, weddings, anniversaries and birthday celebrations. The name Reehorst is also preserved in the nearby Reehorsterweg and in several Ede sports clubs connected to the historical Omnivereniging Sportclub Reehorst, and a sports hall stands behind the conference centre.
