BELGIUM<br />

Our Top Two Performance Picks<br />

De Panne Promenade and Market Square<br />

Perfect for instrumental ensembles!<br />

Home to the widest beach on the Belgian coast, De Panne<br />

offers groups the opportunity to combine an afternoon<br />

concert with a day by the sea! During the summer<br />

months, the town’s promenade hosts a variety of events<br />

and passers-by are guaranteed to stop and listen to live<br />

music, making this the perfect coastal concert setting.<br />

The Ghent Festival<br />

Perfect for choirs and instrumental ensembles!<br />

In July, the city of Ghent comes to life as people from all over<br />

the world flock to enjoy Belgium’s most renowned arts festival.<br />

Attracting over 55,000 visitors each year, some <strong>18</strong>0 concerts are<br />

performed by over 1,500 international artists. Your ensemble<br />

Your time at leisure<br />

Belgium is a compact country, with many of its main attractions<br />

situated in close proximity. One of the most appealing things<br />

about a Belgium tour is the ease with which groups can<br />

hop between Bruges, Ghent, Ypres and Brussels. Wherever<br />

you choose to base your group, we will help you create an<br />

itinerary that will show your group the best of Belgium.<br />

• Admire the sights of Ghent and Bruges<br />

aboard a guided canal cruise<br />

• For thrills and spills, head to the Bobbejaanland<br />

Theme Park in Lichtaart<br />

• Learn about Ypres’ turbulent history during the First<br />

World War at the In Flanders Fields Museum<br />

Accommodation<br />

We offer a variety of quality accommodation options in<br />

Belgium which cater specifically for the needs of travelling<br />

youth ensembles, featuring rehearsal space and instrument<br />

storage. Whether you choose to stay in the heart of<br />

Bruges or a hostel in the Belgian countryside, we can<br />

recommend the accommodation centres to match your<br />

location preference, facility requirements and budget.<br />
