De “Groene Stek” is een dagbesteding op een unieke locatie waar mensen met diverse beperkingen of achterstanden onder professionele begeleiding dagbesteding krijgen op maat en in kleine groepen. Wij hebben een geweldig team van mensen die je gaan begeleiden op en rond de akker met de dagelijkse werkzaamheden. Een ieder van ons zorgt voor een productieve dag met een vrolijke noot. De buitenlucht doet de rest want slapen doe je op z’n best na een dagje akker. Moe en voldaan!

Kinepolis Den Helder opened her doors in building 51 in Willemsoord, the former shipyard and maintenance site for the Royal Navy in 2003. Various details of the Old Rijkswerf were left intact; Two of the halls were newly built against the Shipyard. The cinema has six halls. See the current movie program on the website.

The Medemblikkerloods on Willemsoord is a place where history comes to life. Here, wood is still worked, just as it was in the past. The name refers to the carpenters from Medemblik who practiced their craft here in the 19th century. In their original shed, dating from 1833, wood was dried after years of soaking in the Binnenhaven to soften it enough for working. After serving as a copper warehouse, metalworking shop, and storage for dockworkers, the old shed was demolished in the 1980s. But in 2003, it was rebuilt with the same design and renewed energy. It is now a well-equipped woodworking shop where restoration and maintenance of classic ships—from botters to sloops—are carried out. Thanks to support from the Wadden Fund and the efforts of dozens of volunteers, this shed has become a vibrant place. You'll also find an instruction room and storage facilities, all dedicated to preserving the Museum Harbor. Everything here exudes craftsmanship, a love of maritime heritage, and a focus on sustainability. The warehouse is managed by the Willemsoord Shipyard Foundation. A visit is more than just seeing – it's experiencing how past and future merge in wood, hands, and stories.
