Flagey rents its halls for conferences, concerts, gala dinners, meetings and award shows at Place Sainte-Croix in Brussels. The center is a cultural institution with a public program, and it sells its spaces to organizers alongside that program. Capacities run from small studios to a main hall of up to 862 people, and the foyers hold 850.
Seminars and company events
The events team helps organizers with advice and practical organization: choosing the most suitable rooms, technical facilities, hostesses, branding, security, parking and catering. That makes Flagey a fit for a company that wants one contact for a conference, a launch or an awards evening, rather than a single room only.
For conferences and presentations, Studio 5, named after the director Agnès Varda, takes up to 120 people for conferences and film projections. Studios 2 and 3 are used for workshops, seminars, conferences, rehearsals for small bands, sound and visual installations and recordings, which suits a working session with a technical side. The Salon Diongre is meant for small meetings, conferences or dinner parties.
Weddings and receptions
The rental page lists gala dinners, concerts and award shows rather than weddings. For a private reception, ask the events team what formats the center accepts and which dates are free around its cultural program.
Rooms and capacities
Studio 4 is the main hall and is described as acoustically unrivaled. It takes 500 people on the ground floor and up to 862 with the balconies, which suits a plenary session, a concert or an award show. Studio 1 seats up to 156 people. Studio 5 takes up to 120 people for conferences and projections. The foyers have a capacity of 850 people, which makes them useful for a reception before or after a plenary session.
The building also offers the Main Hall on the Sainte-Croix side, whose entrance hall introduces the Art Deco style of the building with custom neon lighting and rounded walls, and a Machine Room that the center describes as well hidden within the building. Capacities for those two spaces and for the Salon Diongre and Studios 2 and 3 are not given on the page.
Accommodation
Flagey has no bedrooms. Brussels has hotels at many price levels, and the events team can advise on practical organization.
Catering
The center helps organizers choose catering as part of its services. The page does not say whether catering is cooked on site or supplied by partners, so ask the events team before you plan a seated dinner.
History and setting
Flagey sits on Place Sainte-Croix in the Ixelles area of Brussels. Its Art Deco building is the setting for a cultural program of concerts, film and workshops, and the center is part of Brussels Special Venues, a network of unusual venues in the city. Because of the public program, check which dates are free early.
