vision The Maaspoort
Maasport. You can do it here.
With an unimaginable love of theatre and music, an eye for talent, youth, the future, a large dose of guts and the ability to see the world through the eyes of others, we manage to seduce, amaze, embrace and move you.
Welcome to Maaspoort. Here we celebrate culture and life with unadulterated joie de vivre. Our guests, artists, makers, partners and the many people around us, experience here 'the real difference you make together'. Our enthusiasm, entrepreneurship and personal attention, touch you. We warmly invite you to join us, come back or just give it a try.
Maaspoort is your home for deepening and entertainment. For culture and going out. This is where people, cultures, thoughts, perspectives and the wildest ideas come together. This is possible, because nothing is too crazy here. Because it is possible here.

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 and act further. You meet in an inspiring and good environment that stimulates you. We make sure you are free to do, think, innovate and unwind.
Why Maaspoort?
The river Maas is an inspiration, a beloved one that 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 provides new inspiration, (dis)excitement and enjoyment.
What we believe
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, allowing them to escape from everyday life.
We welcome our guests in warmth and atmosphere, like in our own home. We 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. Maaspoort stands for inspiring, stimulating and entertaining people together.
