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 may be taken into the hall if you wish. We ask you to take the glassware back from the auditorium afterwards.

If you visit a performance without an intermission, you will receive the drink afterwards. For dinner shows and star concerts, drinks during the interval are not included. If you are not sure whether a drink is included in the ticket price, this is mentioned in the brochure and on your ticket.
