50 years. And all the people who have become part of your story.

At KOMAEN in Oirschot, you can turn that gathering into a proper celebration. Not according to a fixed schedule, but in a way that feels right for you. Lively or relaxed, with a large crowd or simply with the people closest to your heart.

Turning 50 in the Netherlands? Expect a little fun with Abraham and Sarah!
A giant Abraham or Sarah figure outside the house. A banner with a cheeky message. Old photographs you had long forgotten, but your friends somehow managed to find. In the Netherlands, turning 50 often comes with plenty of humour, surprises and a healthy dose of self-deprecation.
But the celebration does not have to stop at funny decorations or playful pranks. This milestone is a wonderful excuse to spend time together. Some people would love a packed party room with music, while others would rather enjoy a long, relaxed afternoon with family and friends.
An Abraham party with friends
Bring together the people you have shared your greatest adventures with over the years. A relaxed drinks reception or evening party gives everyone the chance to create new memories.
A Sarah celebration with family
Invite family and friends for a leisurely lunch, a delicious dinner or a festive evening, with plenty of time for conversations, memories and surprises.
Organising the party for someone else? Let the birthday person's personality guide your choices. Not everyone enjoys being the centre of attention. A personal celebration often makes a greater impression than the biggest spectacle.
Birthday drinks, a special dinner or an evening party: how will you celebrate turning 50?
A 50th birthday is not just another Saturday night. Yet the best celebration can be surprisingly simple: great food, good drinks and the right people around you. What matters most is choosing an atmosphere that suits your personality.
Relaxed A leisurely birthday gathering Drinks, tasty bites and plenty of time to catch up with old friends and family members.
Enjoying food together Lunch or dinner with loved ones A festive meal where everyone gathers around the table and the stories flow naturally.
Lively An evening with music and celebration Turn your 50th into a night where guests linger, enjoy the atmosphere and celebrate together.
Planning a bigger party? Then the right space makes all the difference. A room where guests can sit comfortably, mingle or celebrate together sets the tone for the evening. At KOMAEN, you can explore the venue's event spaces for family celebrations. The most suitable room and layout will depend on your guest numbers and plans.
Planning a surprise 50th birthday party? Make it an entrance to remember
The birthday guest thinks they are simply going out for a meal and walks in without suspecting a thing. But instead of an ordinary dinner table, there are childhood friends, family members and other loved ones waiting. Everyone has come especially to celebrate their 50th birthday.
A great surprise party does not need an elaborate plan. Often, the biggest surprise is simply seeing who has turned up.
Step 1 Invite the right people Think beyond the usual circle and consider that one friend or relative the birthday guest would love to see again.
Step 2 Get the timing right Ask guests to arrive early and agree who will bring the guest of honour, so the surprise is not revealed too soon.
Step 3 Add a personal welcome Start with a toast, a funny memory or a few heartfelt words from someone close to the birthday guest.
Would you like to organise a surprise party at KOMAEN? Mention this when making your enquiry. You can then discuss the arrival times, reception and possibilities for a suitable room in advance.
Great food makes your 50th birthday even more enjoyable
A birthday celebration becomes even more special when everyone takes the time to enjoy a meal together. A long lunch with family, a barbecue where conversations move from table to table, or dinner before the evening party begins. Choose the dining experience that best suits your guests.
For a festive afternoon A leisurely birthday lunch
A shared lunch is a relaxed way to celebrate your 50th. Especially when several generations are invited, an afternoon gathering gives everyone plenty of time to be together.
At KOMAEN, you can discuss options including the traditional Oirschot bread lunch and a shared lunch.
Informal and enjoyable A birthday barbecue
A barbecue is a great choice for an informal birthday with friends and family. Enjoy a meal together without everyone having to stay seated in the same place throughout the evening.
Barbecues at KOMAEN are available for groups of at least 15 people. Indoor barbecue options are also available, so colder weather need not rule out your plans.
A festive meal Buffet or dinner together
Would you like to treat your guests to a generous meal? A buffet can be an excellent choice. Prefer something different? Shared dining or a set-menu dinner are also among the culinary options.
Buffets are available for groups of at least 25 people. Other dining arrangements are available for smaller groups.
For a larger celebration Tuk-Tuk Street Food Festival
How about celebrating your 50th with a festival atmosphere? At the Tuk-Tuk Street Food Festival, your guests can explore different food stalls and culinary themes while watching the chefs prepare their dishes.
This concept is available for groups of at least 50 people and offers something different for a larger birthday celebration.
Would you like food to play a central role in your party? It is worth exploring the buffets, street food and other dining options for groups. From a relaxed lunch to an extensive buffet, there are several ways to treat your guests to something delicious.
Do any of your guests have allergies or dietary requirements? Mention these in advance so the available options can be discussed.
The best stories are often the ones from twenty or thirty years ago
That friend who remembers exactly what you were like when you were younger. A brother or sister with a story you would rather forget. Or your children sharing something that secretly makes you proud. A 50th birthday has a way of bringing all those memories back.
Want to make your celebration a little more personal? You do not need to plan an entire evening of entertainment. A few well-chosen moments are often more than enough.
A speech with humour and heart
Ask a good friend or family member to share a few special memories. A mixture of funny stories and sincere words often means the most.
A little journey through fifty years of photographs
Collect photographs from different stages of life, from childhood and holidays to family gatherings and special moments today.
A quiz about the birthday guest
Let guests guess which story is true, which saying is typical of the guest of honour or what happened in an old photograph.
Would you like to use a screen or microphone? Discuss the available facilities in your chosen room beforehand.
Why not start your 50th birthday with something fun together?
Your 50th birthday could begin with a little friendly competition. Who turns out to be surprisingly good at golf? Which friend is still heading in the wrong direction after three attempts? An activity often leads to plenty of laughter and gives everyone even more to talk about over drinks afterwards.
For a relaxed challenge Pitch&Putt with friends or family
An accessible golf game that requires no previous experience. Choose between 9 or 18 holes, depending on how much time you would like to spend on the course.
For a sporty group A game of footgolf
Football meets golf in one playful challenge. Ideal for guests who enjoy being outdoors and having a little friendly competition.
Would you like to start the afternoon with an activity that is also suitable for less experienced players? Discover how Pitch&Putt at KOMAEN works. Afterwards, you can continue your birthday celebration with drinks or a meal together.
Tip: if your guests vary in age or physical ability, keep that in mind when choosing an activity. You do not need to be particularly sporty to have a great time together.

Planning your 50th birthday? Start with these decisions
Organising your 50th birthday does not have to become a complicated project. You do not need to know exactly how every hour should unfold either. A few key decisions will help you discuss the possibilities.
1. Who absolutely has to be there?
Start with a guest list of the people you most want to invite. An initial estimate is enough to begin thinking about a suitable space.
2. Would you rather celebrate during the day or in the evening?
Lunch or afternoon drinks work well for family gatherings. An evening celebration is often better suited to a bigger party with friends.
3. What should your celebration include?
Delicious food, relaxed drinks, music or a personal surprise? Decide what matters most so the programme does not become unnecessarily busy.
4. What budget do you have in mind?
An approximate amount per guest or a total budget will help you explore suitable dining arrangements and event spaces.
5. Are there any special requirements?
Think about speeches, dietary needs, a particular room layout or guests who need extra seating. Mention these wishes in advance.
You do not have to work out every detail yourself. Simply share how you would like to celebrate turning 50 and roughly how many guests you expect. From there, the available options can be discussed.
