The construction of the legendary “Feestlokaal van Vooruit” in 1913 was a statement about the welfare of working-class families, in which culture played an important role. This iconic people's house soon became a bustling café and center of activities: a modern “bread and circuses. The same goes for the contemporary arts center, which is still a veritable hive of performances, concerts, lectures and nightlife.
During this adventurous tour, you will discover the real backstage of De Vooruit: from the deepest beer cellar to the highest attic. The many playgrounds are the main focus. You will also discover more about our innovative heat network, a brand new wheelchair space and our 236 solar panels. And from the scene tower you will enjoy a panoramic view over the iconic playing field of the Theaterzaal. The Vooruit as you've never seen it before: not to be missed!
