Box Bizar Grand Opening

kerk Ten Broek

We’re incredibly excited about our official opening. With a project like this, it’s almost impossible to ever be truly “finished.” Box Bizar isn’t a completed project—it’s a place in constant evolution. For the past six years, we’ve been renovating and restoring the Ten Broek chapel ourselves, step by step, with plenty of trial and error, and even more perseverance.

At the moment, we’re also in the final stretch of the administrative process: completing permit applications, obtaining fire safety approval, and finalizing our file with Customs and Excise to be officially recognized as a duty-free bonded warehouse.

Despite all of that, we’ve made our decision: on 26 September 2026, Box Bizar will officially open.

Not because everything is perfect.

But because it’s time to bring it to life.

 

What you’ll experience that day isn’t a perfectly polished concept, but a place that breathes, evolves, and is still very much in the making. A church coming back to life—not as a monument, but as a gathering place built around taste, music, and shared experiences.

It’s your chance to get a first taste of what Box Bizar is becoming: a world of exceptional spirits, distinctive craft beers, and refined champagnes, complemented by cocktails, food pairings, and unexpected combinations.
