Take a vacation from your vacation at this oasis in the city.
The Old Ghent Docks have been transformed over the last ten years into a refuge for arty folks to express their creative spirit. Enjoy a social-cultural hub of activity and embrace those creative vibes at the popular Bar Bricolage, once a summer pop-up but now open to enjoy all year round (yay!).
Bring your friends, parents, kids, in-laws; this place is great for all ages to have fun and relax or get involved with what’s on the agenda for the day. There’s something for everyone from a sandbox for the kids to yoga, sports, games, as well as films, concerts and DJs. There’s even exhibitions, markets and workshops so you’re sure to feel your creative flow whilst enjoying a cocktail or two in this industrial, recycled setting.
And it doesn’t stop there. Culture meets culinary when it comes to the food, with homemade pizza and a constantly changing menu to ensure you'll always have something new to try!
This green oasis in Ghent’s urban jungle is the perfect escape from the city to meet friends or who knows, maybe make some new ones. And be sure to stick around for sunset - it’s a doozy.
