Burgerweeshuis works with lockers where you can put your stuff. To use the locker you need a €2,- coin, which can be obtained at the cash register (pin only). It is better to leave bags at home.

Our website lists start times and opening hours. From the opening time, you can scan your ticket at Burgerweeshuis and enter. The start time is the start time of the concert.

Concerts at Burgerweeshuis are usually standing concerts, unless otherwise indicated on the program page of the concert in question. If you want to request a chair or stool for a standing concert, please contact info@burgerweeshuis.nl. We will then see if it is possible to place a stool or chair.

Burgerweeshuis is one of the partners of the Muziekhub Oost collaboration. Thirteen pop music organizations in Gelderland and Overijssel, including venues, development institutions, and educational programs, are working with Muziekhub Oost to strengthen the musical ecosystem in the eastern Netherlands. By pooling knowledge, networks, and resources, we support the creative and business development of makers at every stage of their career.

‍

Muziekhub Oost focusses on the entire talent development chain: from incubators to showcase festivals, from first steps to professional breakthroughs. Guided by three core values: space to create, the maker at the center, and shared success as the engine of sustainable growth, we work together with partners such as Doornroosje, Luxor Live, GIGANT, Hedon, Metropool, Burgerweeshuis, De Basis, ArtEZ, and the Poppunten Overijssel and Gelderland to build a resilient and connected ecosystem.

‍

In addition, Muziekhub Oost includes several initiatives, such as Sonar (performance and airplay opportunities), Nieuwe Electronische Waar (for electronic music), Nieuwe Notie (for hip-hop), and Toonzetters (for hybrid music professionals).

‍

Muziekub Oost also works closely with governments and funds to further strengthen this infrastructure. From Nijmegen to Enschede and everywhere in between: Muziekhub Oost facilitates the development of makers and sector professionals across the board, with attention to regional context and long-term impact.
