La Ferme de Widewance hosts company seminars, family days, conferences and team-building days, as well as weddings and family receptions. The reception hall seats up to 280 guests at tables and takes up to 500 at a standing cocktail. The venue is a renovated 18th-century barn in Le Rœulx, in the province of Hainaut, Belgium, surrounded by gardens.
Seminars and company events
The farm lists professional events as one of its main offers. It organizes seminars, family days, conferences, team-building days and other company events, as well as corporate receptions and business meals. The venue works with an exclusive in-house catering service, and its team takes charge of the whole organization of the event. For a company, that means one contact for the room, the food and the running order.
The farm also runs events of its own during the year, including brunches and a patron-saint-day offer for staff (fêtes patronales) that invites colleagues to gather around a meal. These formats show how the barn is used for groups that come together for a shared lunch or dinner rather than for a classroom layout.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, baptisms, birthdays, cocktails, retirement parties and garden parties are organized here from start to finish. The reception hall is surrounded by landscaped gardens, where white pagodas are set up for the aperitif. The website carries photo galleries of past weddings, family receptions and professional receptions, and offers a 360-degree virtual tour for couples and organisers who cannot visit in person.
Rooms and capacities
The main space is a large barn from the 18th century. It has been fully renovated and keeps an exposed timber frame. It seats up to 280 people at tables and holds up to 500 for a cocktail. The gardens and pagodas extend the reception outdoors.
The website does not publish separate meeting rooms or a room-by-room breakdown. An organiser planning plenary sessions, workshops or breakout groups should ask the venue how the barn can be divided or laid out.
Catering
Catering is in-house and exclusive. The farm has its own caterer, which says it works only with fresh, high-quality products, and the same kitchen runs a takeaway catering service. Because the offer is built around this service, an organiser who wants to bring an outside caterer should check that point with the venue before planning.
History and setting
The farm stands in a quiet, green setting, and its barn dates from the 18th century. The site presents the renovation as a work done with respect for the original building. The address is Rue de l'Église 33, 7070 Le Rœulx, in the Ville-sur-Haine area.
Getting there
The website lists the address and contact numbers but does not describe parking, train access or accommodation on site. Ask the venue about these three points when you send your request, especially for a seminar with guests who travel or stay overnight.
