Practical

The venue can be accessed easily by car. Though there is no parking facility at the venue.

However, we highly encourage our visitors to use public transport. Mechelen has a direct connection by train from most other cities in Belgium. The train station is only 750m from the venue.

Anyone still choosing to come by car can use the free peripheral car parks
