  • Central Amsterdam

€27,50 per person · private sessions for the group

Why it's a great idea

Sweeter than another round of cocktails

It is the kind of activity everyone actually enjoys, from the bride to the friend who hates organised fun. You make something together, take great photos and warm up before the rest of the day.

Made for the group

Everyone gets their own iron and their own stroopwafels. It is hands-on, a little messy and full of laughs, exactly what you want with your favourite people.

A private session, just for you

Book the space for your group so you can be as loud and silly as you like. Bring the sash, bring the energy, we'll bring the caramel.

Right where the day continues

We are in the heart of Amsterdam, a short walk from the canals, lunch spots and bars, so the workshop slots perfectly into the rest of your plans.

Good to know

Hen party workshop FAQ

Is the workshop a good hen party activity?
Yes, it is one of our most popular group bookings. It is hands-on, fun and relaxed, a great way to bring everyone together before lunch, drinks or the rest of the day out.
How many people can join?
We host up to 12 in one session. For a bigger group we run back-to-back sessions on the same day, so everyone gets their turn at the iron. Just tell us your number.
Can men join, or mixed groups?
Of course. The workshop works just as well for bachelor and stag dos or mixed groups as it does for a classic hen party. Everyone makes their own stroopwafels.
How long does it take?
About 45 minutes of hands-on baking, so it fits easily before lunch, a canal cruise or a night out without taking over the whole day.
What does everyone take home?
Everyone makes and decorates two of their own stroopwafels and takes them home in a Melly's gift box, along with a recipe card and a certificate of participation.
Does anything contain allergens?
The stroopwafel base contains egg, gluten (wheat), milk and soy, and some toppings add nuts. Check our allergen guide before you book and let us know about any allergies in the group.
