Martiniplaza

Martiniplaza is an event complex in Groningen with multiple halls designed for different types of gatherings and performances. The main hall holds around 5000 people, while the theatre space features two levels with distinct seating sections that can be adjusted depending on the event.

The complex opened in 1969 and represented the start of a new era for large-scale events in northern Netherlands. Its opening provided the region with modern facilities to host major gatherings and artistic performances.

The theatre hall serves as a major venue for performing arts and live entertainment in the region, drawing audiences from across the area. Visitors come to watch theater productions, concerts, and other live performances that shape the cultural life of the city.

The venue has multiple entrances including dedicated access points for performers and equipment, making movement through the space straightforward. Visitors should familiarize themselves with the layout since the complex is large and contains several distinct areas.

The theatre balcony seating area with around 600 seats can be closed off separately to create different room configurations based on event needs. This flexibility allows the space to feel more intimate when only the lower level is used at full capacity.
