What does the membership look like?

‍

‍

Three times a year, Burgerweeshuis organizes fun, informative, and social activities. As a BBF member, you also enjoy several privileges, such as free entry to concerts and club nights, discounts on our Burgerweeshuis merchandise, and a quarterly newsletter with updates and pre‑sales.

Annual

Pop quiz with dinner & live band

Every September, as a Burger Friend, you can put together a team of up to 4 people with a catchy team name. With your team, you can take part in our pop quiz while enjoying a three-course dinner and a drink. Hosted by Karel Tadema, the quiz is accompanied by an amazing live band in our concert hall. The game is on!

Annual

BBF On tour

How cool is it to see all the ins and outs of another music venue? Every year, Burgerweeshuis organizes an exclusive tour of a different venue or festival. We’ll start with a bite to eat backstage, and after the tour, we’ll attend a concert there. Transportation is provided, so you’ll be dropped off back at your favorite venue: Burger.

Annual

Annual lunch & drinks

At our annual In Vredes Naam festival, we love raising a glass with our friends and their families to toast to freedom and the opening of the festival. After lunch, you'll receive tokens for drinks, and then you're all set to head into the festival. Cheers!
