De Ogtent Horeca B.V.

What De Ogtent Horeca B.V. does

De Ogtent Horeca B.V. operates a cultural center and hospitality venue in Duiven, Netherlands, within the Liemers region. The company is operated by Stichting SHO De Ogtent Horsterpark, a Dutch nonprofit foundation structure with origins dating to 1896. The physical footprint spans Cultuurcentrum De Ogtent (nine multifunctional rooms accommodating 5 to 1,000 persons), Eetcafé Bij de Buren (on-site restaurant), Horsterpark Theepaviljoen (tea pavilion), and a Kinderboerderij (children's farm), together delivering a community-anchored cultural and hospitality ecosystem that includes more than 40 day-activity placements for people with a distance to the labor market.

The core product offering is cultural programming under the CUL brand, which celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2026 and comprises CUL Cabaret (seven-show season at €150), CUL Klassiek (seven-concert classical series at €75), CUL Jazz Café, CUL Filmhuis, CUL Stand-up Comedy Café, and complementary events including Dance Nights, the Duuve te Gek community festival, Melody Musical student productions, the Dinnershow Christmas Special, and the international Euregio Rijn-Waal Pianofestival. The technology stack is a WordPress site with WooCommerce-based ticketing webshop at deogtent.nl, complemented by a physical box office with PIN payment and an on-site café/restaurant. Ticket sales are marketed through Facebook, Instagram, and an email newsletter.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and multi-stream: (1) transactional ticket sales for events and shows, (2) season pass subscriptions (annual cadence) bundling multiple events at a discount to individual ticket pricing, (3) food and beverage revenue from Eetcafé Bij de Buren and Horsterpark Theepaviljoen including drinks packages attached to certain tickets, and (4) venue rental income from the nine multifunctional rooms for private events, conferences, and celebrations. Distribution is regional (Liemers/Duiven and adjacent Euregio Rijn-Waal areas), with cross-border programming ties to German partners such as Klavierfestival NiederRheinLande.

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Stichting Kumpulan Ini-Dia: Minor partner listed in De Ogtent's ecosystem that supports cultural/educational projects in Indonesia and produces dance-afternoon events at the venue — adjacent partner rather than a competitor, shown here to illustrate the ecosystem rather than direct competition.
• Bloemberg Media: De Ogtent's website development and technology partner — an enabling vendor rather than a comparable peer, included to capture the supplier-side of the company's operating stack.

Direct peers

• Schouwburg Hengelo: Regional schouwburg (playhouse) in Hengelo presenting cabaret, classical, dance, and youth theater — comparable mid-sized Dutch regional theater competing for similar Dutch artists and regional audiences.
• Mezz Breda: Cultural center and music venue in Breda hosting pop, jazz, world music, cabaret, and club nights in multiple rooms — directly comparable to De Ogtent's mix of CUL Jazz, cabaret, and dance-night programming.
• Stadsschouwburg De Harmonie: Regional theater/cultural venue in Leeuwarden (Friesland) operating a multi-genre programming mix including cabaret, classical concerts, and family shows — directly comparable in scale and programming mix to De Ogtent's CUL series.
• Theater De Lawei: Cultural center and theater in Drachten (Friesland) hosting cabaret, concerts, musicals, and conferences with multiple halls of varying capacities — structurally analogous to De Ogtent's 9-room multifunctional setup.
• Cultuurcentrum De Nieuwe Kolk (DNK): Cultural center in Assen (Drenthe) combining theater, cinema, and hospitality across multiple halls, serving as a regional cultural hub — comparable to De Ogtent's combination of cultural programming, café, and venue rental.

Emerging players

• Podium Mojo: Dutch regional pop/cabaret booking and promotion agency working with venues across the Netherlands — comparable in operating model (booking talent and promoting shows at cultural venues) though not a single-venue operator.

Broad incumbents

• Stichting Toneelgroep Amsterdam: Internationally renowned Dutch theater company and venue (Internationaal Theater Amsterdam) — a larger, established player in Dutch performing arts that draws talent and audiences away from regional venues like De Ogtent.

Regional players

• Theaterhotel De Oranjerie: Combined theater-hotel venue in Roermond (Limburg) presenting cabaret, musicals, and concerts in a regional setting — comparable operating model and target audience, though with an integrated hotel component De Ogtent lacks.
