Break consumption

Maaspoort strives to provide the best possible service, which is why all professional performances include a drink in the interval (for family performances, lemonade is included). Drinks are available in the foyer near your theatre hall and can be taken into the hall if you wish. If you want to take a hot drink into the auditorium, we will serve it in a to-go cup. We ask you to bring the glassware back from the auditorium afterwards.

If you visit a performance without an intermission, you will receive your drink afterwards. For dinner shows and star concerts, no drink is included in the interval. If you are not sure whether a drink is included in the ticket price, this is mentioned on the website and on your ticket.

Want a bite to eat before or after? Then make a reservation at Bistro de Luif.
