vision The Maaspoort

Free to do, think, innovate, enjoy and relax

The challenging compass. Whatever you are looking for. Whatever your question or need. We realise it. Can't doesn't exist. And we challenge you. To look, think, act further.

You meet in an inspiring and quality environment that stimulates you. Challenges. Enriches. Seduces. We unburden you so that you can be completely free. Free to do, think, innovate, enjoy and relax

The Maas is a source of inspiration, a lover who flows through the heart of Venlo. Just as Maaspoort is also the beating heart of the city. The Maas is lively, beautiful, energetic and on the move.

The gate stands for the explorer. The guide. This one is always open to something new. Something challenging with a touch of rebel. This one leads you to new inspiration, (dis)excitement and enjoyment.

We believe that magical moments enrich a person's life. Moments in which people make beautiful memories together, which can be relived again and again, escaping daily reality.
We welcome our guests in warmth and atmosphere, like in our own home. Connect audiences, artists and many other people. Show guts, creativity and authenticity. We feel and behave like one big family.
In and around the most beautiful theatre in the Netherlands, we deliver high-quality experiences, and surprise and care for our guests. De Maaspoort stands for inspiring, stimulating and entertaining people together.
Collaborating | Enterprising with guts | Creative | Hospitable

We proudly present our Future Vision 2025-2028, an inspiring plan that gives direction to our ambitions and course for the coming years. Under the motto "It can be done here", we are building a Maaspoort that is more strongly connected to the city, the region and our visitors. Our vision emphasises culture as the foundation of society and focuses on innovation, sustainability and inclusion.
