Our spaces are modular, making them adaptable to any type of private or professional event, from 25 to 740 people.

Does La Tricoterie host shows or artistic performances ?

Of course ! La Tricoterie hosts hundreds of performances every year as part of its cultural season : feel free to submit your project to us if you would like to be part of the season.
La Tricoterie is also always ready to welcome artists outside of its cultural season, through room rentals for private events.

You can find more information about our rooms and their capacities here. Please note, room capacity depends on the selected layout and the furniture installed

Is it possible to visit La Tricoterie before booking ?

Yes, it is completely possible to visit La Tricoterie before booking- in fact, it is recommended. This will allow you to get a feel for the atmosphere of the venue and better indentify the space best suited to your needs.
Feel free to send us an email to arrange an appointment : [event (at) tricoterie.be>mailto:event (at) tricoterie.be].

How do the reservation and payment processes work ?

If you are interested in a specific date, we can place a hold on the requested room. To confirm the booking, we require a signed quote and a 40% deposit payment. A coordinator will then contact you to prepare your event. You can meet with the coordinator on site, via video call or by phone to review all aspects of your event and ask any questions you may have. The remaining 60% balance payment is due no later than 3 weeks before the event. We ask that you provide us with the final head count, menu selection and any dietary restrictions at least 10 days before the event.

Where is La Tricoterie located and how do I get there ?

La Tricoterie is located at No.158 Rue Théodore Verhaegen in Saint-Gilles, close to Brussels-Midi Station (Gare du Midi) and Porte de Hal.

La Tricoterie is very easily accessible by public transport :

  • TRAIN : Brussels-Midi Station (10-minute walk or Tram 81)
  • METRO : Lines 2, 3, 4, 6, 51 - "Porte de Hal" stop (5-minute walk)
  • TRAM : Line 81 - "Bethléem" stop, right in front of La Tricoterie
  • BUS : Lines 48, 49, 50 - "Avenue de Roi" stop
    You can also reach us by bar or by bicycle.

Do you provide a catering service ?

Yes, we have our own-house catering service. Our catering approach is eco-friendly : no disposable tableware, reduced waste and food loss, and raw ingredients sourced primarily from organic farming and fair trade. We work with over 30 local producers.
You can find our menu here : all our offerings remain customizable to suit your preferences.

We would like to bring our own food or use an external caterer. It is possible ?

Unfortunately, La Tricoterie does not allow outside caterings, as it has its own in-house catering service. Our team of professional chefs will be delighted to offer you a variety of delicious menus for any type of event !
If you have specific requests, we are more than happy to create a customized menu for you.
In certain specific cases (such as weddings or birthday cakes), we can recommend external pastry chefs with whom we frequently collaborate. You may also bring your own dessert ; in this case, a dishware fee applies based on the number of guests.

We would like to bring our own drinks. It is possible ?

Unfortunately, La Tricoterie does not allow outside bar services : our bar is run by our in-house team and is stocked with local and ethical beverages.
We can offer you different options : a cash bar, a token system or an open bar.
In exceptional cases, we may allow you to bring your own drinks (for example ; if it is a beverage you produce yourselves or one that we cannot supply). In this case, a corkage fee applies depending on the number of bottles you bring.

It is possible to use external service providers ?

Yes, you can hire external service providers, with the exception of catering. Host fees may apply if the provider arrives outside of your reserved booking hours.
We can recommend a wide directory of service providers we regularly work with : live bands, DJs, pastry chefs, workshop facilitators, photographers, live portrait artists...

Do you have a storage space available ?

We do not have large storage facilities. Exceptionally, we can store your equipment or decorations, provided it does not interfere with the smooth running of other events held at La Tricoterie.

Can you receive deliveries ?

Yes, we can receive deliveries leading up to your event. This service may incur additional staffing fees.

Do you have a cloakroom ?

We provide self-service coat racks for your use. We can also offer a attended cloakroom service (paid).

Is your building secure ?

Our building is equipped with security cameras, and the front door remains locked outside of welcoming and closing hours. However, as multiple events may take place at the same time, we cannot guarantee systematic entry control.
Our team can store your valuable equipment in locked rooms.
Security staff is required for events taking place after 9:00 PM. This service is also available during the day upon request.

Are there noise restrictions equipment at La Tricoterie ?

La Tricoterie is located in a residential area. As a result, the sound level in most of our rooms is limited to 85 dB : this volume is sufficient for a dance party (without heavy bass).
However, the sound level can reach up to 95 dB (with heavy bass) in the Salon. This room is therefore ideal for parties and DJ sets.

Do you have audiovisual equipment at La Tricoterie ?

All of our rooms include a standard AV package that features a screen, a projector, a basic sound and lighting system, and 3 microphones.
If you have additional technical requirements, we can rent the necessary equipment through our trusted partners.
Please note, however, that the use of audiovisual equipment requires the presence of one of our technicians.

Can you offer livestreaming services ?

Yes, we can offer you a live streaming service tailored to your needs. Our technical team will be delighted to advise you.

How do set-up and tear-down work for my event ?

During the coordination phase, you will agree with your coordinator on a precise timeline for your event, as well as the necessary setup time.
On the day of the event, our team will handle the entire setup of your rooms (furniture, optional decoration, and installation of audiovisual equipment). Our team also takes care of dismantling and clearing everything away once the event is over.

What values does La Tricoterie champion ?

La Tricoterie is a "Factory of connections". It champions social, ecological and ethical values. These values run through every aspect of the project : sustainable catering service, ecological renovation, involvement in the local economy and the creation of a cultural season focused on social cohesion... For those reasons, we reserve the right to decline an event if it does not align with our values.

Do you have a parking lot ?

Unfortunately, La Tricoterie does not have its own parking lot.
However, we can offer you several options :

  • Reservation on 3 parking spaces on the street directly in front of La Tricoterie (paid service)
  • Parking at Interparking Porte de Hal (in front of Bordet Hospital), an underground parking facility with 500 spaces. It is located at 8-minute walk from La Tricoterie. Group reservations are possible for your event ; you can find their rates here.
  • Parking at Q-Park Gare du Midi which has 1500 spaces and is a 10.minute walk from La Tricoterie.
  • Shuttle service tailored to your need (paid service).

It is possible to park a bicycle inside ?

Unfortunately, we do not have enough space to accommodate bicycles inside La Tricoterie, as we must ensure our emergency exits remain clear at all times.
Two bike racks are located directly opposite La Tricoterie. A bicycle parking area as well as VILLO, is located on Place Bethléem (1-minute walk).
