The city's LGBTQ+ community frequented 't Mandje (the basket), which was founded in 1927 by openly homosexual local figure Bet van Beeren, until it closed its doors in 1982. Just before she passed away, Greet, Bet's younger sister, started the process to have the club renovated and reopened, which it did in 2008, restoring it to its thriving best.
