In Groningen, culture isn’t just a backdrop – it’s at the heart of the city. SPOT Groningen is living proof of this. SPOT is the organisation behind two iconic venues: De Oosterpoort and the Stadsschouwburg Groningen. Are you visiting one of these venues and want to be sure of a parking space? Simply book your parking space online at Q-Park Oosterpoort from €12.50 per day.
Please note! During theatre performances and concerts, Q-Park Oosterpoort can get particularly busy, which may result in longer waiting times when entering and exiting the car park. There are good alternatives within walking distance, such as Q-Park Rademarkt and Q-Park Museum Centrum. You can also book your parking space online in advance here. This way, you can be sure of a parking space and have more time to enjoy your night out.
As the largest theatre and concert organization in the northern Netherlands, SPOT acts as a bridge between artists and audiences, between tradition and experimentation, and between the city and the wider region. It is not a single building, but a cultural ecosystem that has been setting the standard for the performing arts north of the major rivers for decades.
De Oosterpoort is located on Trompsingel. Since 1973, it has been the leading music venue in Groningen and the surrounding area. It has grown into a nationally and internationally renowned venue for pop, jazz, world music and classical music
Whilst De Oosterpoort is all about music, the Stadsschouwburg Groningen embodies the city’s theatrical tradition. This historic theatre on Turfsingel has been a venue for theatre, dance, cabaret and opera for generations. Here, stories are given a stage, both literally and figuratively.
SPOT Groningen is emphatically more than just a performance venue. The organization acts as a producer and co-producer, organizes its own festivals and develops long-term partnerships with companies, creators and educational institutions. Through its learning and innovation environment, CrossWise, SPOT connects students from Groningen’s educational institutions with the cultural sector. In this way, the organization remains not only relevant but also forward-looking.
What ultimately defines SPOT Groningen is the role it plays in the city’s daily life. Evenings at De Oosterpoort or the Stadsschouwburg are rarely purely about entertainment. They are social, multi-layered and often personal. In this way, SPOT creates places of significance: for artists who are developing their craft, for audiences seeking to be moved, and for a city that sees itself as culturally unconventional and curious.
