Minimum age and childcare

We ask you to respect the minimum age which is indicated for each production. A theatre full of children who are too young to appreciate the show is not a pleasant place. Not to the children themselves, not to the audience and not to the actors.

Please let us have the following information 48 hours in advance via contact@demaan.be: "childcare" for performance xx for xx children of xx years old.

Spectators with hearing problems

The great hall of DE MAAN is equipped with a hearing loop. Hearing-impaired spectators with hearing aids or a cochlear implant can make use of the loop by putting their hearing aids or implant in the T-position. This way they can hear the sound from the stage without disturbing ambient noise. DE MAAN also owns a mobile loop for performances in its small hall and at projects on location.  The loop was donated by Lions Club Mechelen, for which we are sincerely grateful! 

Accessibility for wheelchair users

Our attendants are happy to guide wheelchair users to their seats. If you need assistance, please let us know in advance so that we can make the necessary preparations.
