From junior school bands to high level youth orchestras, the country has plenty of venues on offer, meaning all group types choosing Belgium as their destination will not be disappointed. Belgium is a country many people travel through but fewer rarely take the time to visit yet it has so much to offer. Multicultural and multilingual, Belgium is a vibrant combination which is reflected in its architecture, traditions and cuisine which, of course, includes some of the finest chocolate and beer in the world!

Ghent is a very popular base for our groups; every bit as beautiful as Bruges yet a much more compact and a quieter alternative. Ghent is dominated by the imposing 12th century Castle of the Counts, while canals weave their way through the town. On the banks are countless churches, museums and glorious medieval buildings, including the magnificent town hall and belfry. St Bavo’s cathedral not only boasts wonderful works of art by Van Eyck and Rubens but also the largest organ in the Benelux countries.
The De Draecke Youth Hostel lies in the heart of Ghent and offers a high standard of accommodation for our groups. All rooms have private bathroom and are 4-6 bedded. Downstairs there is a bar, dining room, TV and meeting room and the hostel staff will go out of their way to provide our groups with a comfortable stay.
Situated less than half an hour’s drive to the east of Brussels, Leuven is a glorious town of stunning medieval architecture and home to one of the world’s oldest catholic universities. Hence the city has a fantastic mix of old and new, with plenty of lively bars and cafes set amidst some of the most beautiful architecture you can find. Leuven’s richest monument is the ornately decorated town hall, which stands in the pedestrianised main square, while just outside the city you will find the Interbrew company, which brews the world famous Stella Artois lager.
De Blauwput youth hostel is situated just 10 minutes’ walk from the centre of Leuven and, having opened only in 2003, offers modern, comfortable accommodation for our groups. Bedrooms are 4-6 bedded, all with their own bathroom. Facilities at the hostel include three meeting rooms (pre-booking required), a friendly bar and sun terrace.
Travelling by coach is the most economical and flexible way to tour. Be collected from your meeting point and arrive at your destination in comfort on air-conditioned, high specification coaches. Enjoy the freedom of your own vehicle whilst on tour and travel in comfort with reclining seats and toilet. More and more groups choose to fly. We can arrange your flights from your local airport as well as from London. Once you have arrived at your destination, we can provide transfers to your accommodation and local coach hire throughout your music tour.
We can send you mini-brochures to hand out at your rehearsals and a PowerPoint presentation for assemblies and parent’s meetings you may wish to hold. We also have a promotional poster to put up around your school, which you can download here. This will make it easier for you to get your students excited about your plans.
We work hard to generate excellent attendance at each concert, as we understand that an appreciative audience makes all the difference. We produce eye-catching posters and handbills, which are displayed and distributed in the environs of your concerts. We also advertise your concerts in online and hard copy local What’s On Guides as well as newspapers, by way of press releases. In addition, we invite local dignitaries, music societies and music students to your concerts. Last but not least, we provide you with posters for your concerts, which will be displayed in your coach and placed on your Club Europe poster board at your venue by your tour manager before each concert.
