  ​Belgium

  Belgium is an excellent choice for all touring music groups with performance venues available in some iconic landmarks attracting locals and tourists to your audience. 

  With a thriving music scene, your school can combine a multi city tour with performances in the cities of Bruges, Ghent, Ostend and Ypres, performing in vibrant market squares, historical sites and breath-taking cathedrals. We are also able to arrange musical participation at the daily Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate – truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! A short journey from Calais, this close to home option offers your students a concert tour that ticks all the boxes. You can even combine a performance with a day at a theme park!
