Bezoekersinfo

Burgerweeshuis is located at Bagijnenstraat 9 in Deventer. Because the building is located in the city center, it is easy to reach on foot or by bike. It is about a 10-minute walk from Deventer Central Station. Click here for directions.

There are a number of parking garages in the area. For example, you can park at the Centrumgarage Deventer and the Stadspoort Garage. You can also park around the Burgerweeshuis at various paid parking spaces.

‍

The concert hall on the ground floor and the café are both wheelchair accessible. The halls on the first floor are not. You can ask via info@burgerweeshuis.nl whether there is a possibility to place a stool or chair at a concert.

Our concerts are accessible to all ages. Children under 16 must be accompanied by their parents and/or guardians. Our club nights generally have a minimum age of 18. The program page shows the applicable minimum age of the concerts and club nights.

The offices of Burgerweeshuis are open from Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:00. In addition, Burgerweeshuis is open during concerts and club nights. The times of these can be found in our agenda.

The café is open from 19:00 on concert nights. If there is no concert, the café is closed.

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. The dimensions of the lockers are 23 cm high x 30 cm wide and 40 cm deep. Backpacks are not allowed in the hall.

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.
