Markant Theater Maashorst

What Markant Theater Maashorst does

Markant Theater Maashorst is a regional event venue and cultural facility located in Uden, North Brabant, Netherlands. Founded in 2004, it operates as a multi-space complex combining a main theater (capacity up to 2,500), secondary halls, foyers, and an in-house restaurant (Restaurant Cusco) under a single operating entity. The venue serves a mixed customer base that includes corporate event organizers, cultural programmers, private-party hosts, and direct consumer audiences purchasing tickets for theatrical performances, concerts (including a documented jazz festival), and ceremonies (including funeral/afscheid services).

The core product is physical and hybrid event hosting, supported by an integrated technical infrastructure that includes a 120-channel lighting rig, stage tower, SIAP systems, and Phonak hearing-loop accessibility equipment. The venue has extended its offering into digital event production through in-house livestream and hybrid-event capabilities, allowing remote attendance and recorded event delivery alongside traditional in-person programming. It also holds Erkend Leerbedrijf (recognized learning company) status, formalizing apprenticeship pipelines in hospitality and event production.

Revenue is generated through a combination of venue rental packages (corporate and private), per-ticket consumer sales via its own website and SIXT-integrated purchase flow, in-house F&B via Restaurant Cusco, and AV/technical production services bundled into bookings. Go-to-market spans both direct-to-consumer ticketing for programmed cultural events and direct B2B sales for corporate, association, and community-event rentals, with no disclosed channel partners or external distribution intermediaries beyond standard ticketing infrastructure.
