About Taets

TAETS Art and Event Park has a compelling and transformative story, deeply intertwined with the vision of its founder, Peter Tates. Originally a secluded military site, TAETS's journey to becoming a prominent event venue is a testament to Peter Tates's vision and dedication. His journey began with a clear purpose: to transform a space rich in history into a vibrant hub for creativity and events. Recognizing the potential in the abandoned military grounds, Peter decided to repurpose and revive these spaces, blending their historical essence with modern functionality. Creativity lies at the heart of TAETS, influencing everything from our approach to space usage to the personalised handling of events. Excellence in service is not just a goal; it's our standard. We strive to exceed expectations, ensuring every client feels their event is in capable and caring hands.

TAETS was one of the first to be captivated by the magic of this terrain which was still inaccessible at the time. Back then, the terrain was owned by the Ministry of Defence and was strictly prohibited. TAETS was the first cultural initiative on the site. At that time the terrain was wild, trees grew through the old industrial buildings, and the area was not yet cleared of possible explosives in the ground. Since then, the Hembrugterrein has become a collective site for creatives, social entrepreneurs and cultural institutes. The terrain still kept her wildness and magic. The Hembrugterrein has a number of restaurants and cafés, various museums, a small podium, artist’s studios and design shops, and it regularly hosts concerts and festivals.
