How many people fit in Groene Engel?
The Grote zaal holds 550 people standing, or 100 on the tribune, plus extra seats on the floor. The Cultuurlokaal holds 100 standing or 50 seated.
The Grote zaal is the main concert hall. Standing capacity is 550. For a seated event there are 100 tribune seats, and the venue can add extra seats on the floor. The stage is large and the room has professional light and sound, two fixed bars and a projector.
The Cultuurlokaal is the smaller room and the venue's café. It holds 100 people standing or 50 seated, with a small stage, professional light and sound and a fixed bar. Because it opens to the public at 16:00, an event there is not fully private during café hours.
The two backstage rooms are meeting spaces rather than public halls: Backstage Rood seats 8 to 10 at a table plus 4 in a lounge, and Backstage Blauw seats 6 to 8 plus 6 in a lounge.
Theater De Lievekamp in Oss offers a same-city comparison: its Grote Zaal takes 150 to 650 people depending on the layout, and the Rabo Zaal 50 to 400. De Lievekamp is a theatre, while Groene Engel's Grote zaal is built for standing concerts, so the figures describe different formats.

Can I sit at a concert?
Most concerts are standing-room only. Theatre and film use free seating, and a limited number of stools is available for people who cannot stand for long.
At most concerts there are no seats. If you are unsteady on your feet or cannot stand for a long time, tell the staff at the door. The venue has a limited number of stools, given out first come, first served. The hall usually opens at 19:30, so arriving early helps.
Theatre and film performances use unallocated seats. Your ticket does not reserve a particular place; you choose a seat when the hall opens. For an aisle seat or a preferred spot, arrive when the doors open.
For a seated concert the Grote zaal has 100 tribune seats and room for extra floor seats. The Cultuurlokaal has 50 seats for seated events, but it also works as a café with a small stage.

On foot or by bike is the easiest way into the centre. The venue says Oss Centraal station is 5 to 10 minutes away, while the mapped 930 m route takes about 13 minutes, so allow extra time with luggage or at a quiet pace. There is a large free bike shed next to the building.
