TRAX is a creative meeting place at Traxweg 1 in Roeselare, where an organiser can rent a main hall for up to 800 guests, a foyer for 100 and a meeting room for 15. The site mixes spaces for creating, performing, meeting, rehearsing and moving, joined by a covered square. It suits conferences, performances, receptions and larger gatherings, with drink supply handled through the venue's own brewer.
Seminars and company events
The meeting room in TRAX 1 is the simplest option for a working session. It is on the first floor, reached by stairs or lift, covers 24 m² and holds up to 15 people. It is meant for meetings without technical requirements. A standard selection of drinks is kept in the fridge in the room, and extra drinks can be ordered up to two weeks before the activity.
For larger programmes, the TRAX 2 building offers the Grote Zaal and the Foyer. The hall covers 475 m² on the ground floor with a height of 8 metres. It is equipped with a light and sound installation and with seven trusses, so it works for a conference, a staged presentation or a performance. The tiered seating can be extended to 386 seats, or half extended to 186. Free Wi-Fi is available, and the site publishes technical sheets for each room.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages do not present TRAX as a wedding venue. The Foyer, a multipurpose room of 100 m² on the ground floor, is described for receptions and other gatherings of up to 100 people. It can be rented together with the Grote Zaal. Ask the team about private parties before you plan one, since the pages focus on cultural and community use.
Rooms and capacities
The Grote Zaal holds up to 800 people for parties, concerts, performances and gatherings. With the tribune in use, it seats 386 or 186. The Foyer takes up to 100 for receptions. The meeting room takes 15. TRAX 1 also contains a bar, a club and two rehearsal rooms. TRAX 2 has an artists' room and a warm-up kitchen. Chairs and tables, 100 chairs and 45 tables, are shared between the hall and the foyer, so availability depends on both bookings.
The hall has a cold room, a fridge for 650 bottles, a tap system with two double tap towers, lockers, a ticketing area and a cloakroom with 580 numbered hooks. Floor plans, rules and technical sheets can be downloaded from the website.
Catering
Drinks must be bought through TRAX's regular brewer. In the foyer, only background music up to 85 dB is permitted, with windows and emergency doors kept closed. The pages consulted do not describe food catering, so ask about food before you commit.
