In general
Relatively accessible event venue in Brussels.
The venue has a large car park in front of the entrance.

As the building is spacious and the configuration of the venue can be greatly modified by the event organiser, the level of accessibility will depend on the configuration chosen, the lighting and the staff present (aware, trained or not).
We invite you to take a look at their website, where you'll find lots of photos and even plans of the building and rooms!
