DE OUDE MANEGE Winsum / Het verschil

What DE OUDE MANEGE Winsum / Het verschil does

DE OUDE MANEGE Winsum (also referenced as Het Verschil and historically as Manege Winsum) is a privately held multi-functional sport and recreation venue located in Winsum, Groningen, Netherlands, at Netlaan 1a on a site at the Potmaar waterway. Operating with roughly 10 employees since 2020, the business repurposes a former riding school into indoor artificial-turf and outdoor beach volleyball fields, four hireable group rooms (Huiskamer, Jurykamer, Paardenbox, Achterdeel) sized from 40 m² to 100 m², a children's playground, and four seasonal camper pitches.

Its core technology is the physical facility itself: an indoor artificial-turf field with a damping sand sub-layer and boarding for year-round play, a 40×20 m outdoor beach field divisible into three beach volleyball courts, and presentation-equipped rooms supporting up to 80 persons. The technology and content library includes themed activity programmes (Kano & Kickbike Tours, Winsum To Go, Expeditie Oude Manege, Wie is de Mol challenges, Highland Special, Beach/Fun/Outdoor Games), a silent disco set of 15 wireless headsets, a children's summer camp programme (ages 6–12), an after-school 'Fun-Instuif' on a strippenkaart system, and a team-coaching service ('Back to Basic').

The revenue model is a combination of per-hour facility rental (€30–80 for field tiers), per-event packages (children's parties at €150, weddings and corporate events up to 80 guests), seasonal activity and coaching fees, and tourism revenue from camper-pitch listings on Campercontact and Park4Night. Go-to-market is direct, via the manegewinsum.nl website, phone and email to co-owners Henk Alssema and Deni van Dalsem, and referrals from an embedded partner network of Wijsfit (wellness), Nous-Zorg (healthcare, WMO and Youth day activities), ActionType (corporate coaching) and Het Verschil. Service is concentrated in the Groningen regional market.
