PRACTICAL INFO

HOW TO GET TO THE POPERINGE BIERFESTIVAL

Poperinge is located near the French border, about 150 kilometers from Brussels National airport and 170 from Charleroi airport. From both airports, by making at least two changes, it is possible to reach the city by train. Our advice, once you land at the airport, is to rent a car.

The venue of the Festival, as usual, will be the Maeke Blyde event hall, at Doornstraat 43. Here, you will find a rustic and welcoming place, and a large bar with soft drinks and snacks to satisfy everyone’s needs. The railway station is about 800 meters away. The nearest bus stop is Poperinge Markt, about 350 meters away; lines 24, 51, 60 and 61 pass through here

In town, De Zevende Zon is our favorite. For less than 90€ per night you are guaranteed a splendid double room with breakfast included.
