The Brewing Hall
Large bay windows, copper brewing vats and the spectacular and distinctive construction lend this hall its unique charm and appeal.
The Brewing Hall
The impressive brewing hall of the former Wielemans brewery was designed by Adrien Blomme in 1930. It was once the largest brewing hall in Europe, its glass façade allowing passers-by to enjoy the spectacle of production. Its renovation (from 2005 to 2007) respected the original architecture and materials of Blomme’s design. With its large windows and extraordinary, monumental architecture, this space has a unique charm and atmosphere. The space’s flexibility allows you to organise a large variety of corporate events. The space is ideal for hosting large groups: receptions, buffets or seated dinners, cocktail parties or even presentations.
The space is divided into two levels: the first level includes the bar and gives access to the basement for catering space; the second, known as the Mezzanine, is an extension of the first level and is accessed by a monumental staircase (a lift is in place for people with limited mobility).
The rental of the room can also be combined with other spaces such as the Auditorium, the Seminar Room or the Rooftop Terrace.
Private hire is available only to WIELS Business Club members, outside of public opening hours.
Capacity: Seated: 200 I Standing: 369
The Mezzanine
The Mezzanine is also available for rental during opening hours, when combined with an exhibition visit. This space offers a wonderful view of the brewing hall and the community garden.
The Mezzanine is perfect for hosting lunches, brunches and receptions for up to 60 people. The Auditorium, which sits immediately below the Mezzanine, is available to be hired in combination with the Mezzanine as part of a conference or a film projection, followed by an aperitif or reception.
Capacity: 60 people
