NTGent
A theatre with soul
NTGent is Ghent’s leading theatre. Built in the 1890s in a style typical of its era, it combines elements of Baroque, Renaissance and even Byzantine architecture. Its striking façade is adorned with a monumental mosaic depicting Apollo and the Greek Muses. At the end of the 20th century, the building was carefully restored with great respect for the original design. The result is a richly decorated, authentic and atmospheric theatre, equipped with the latest stage and audiovisual technology.
An unforgettable breakout room
NTGent is a working theatre with a full programme, but it is also available for your next meeting, congress or event. Of course the stunning theatre hall is at your disposal - sophisticated equipment included – but there’s also a choice of classy break-out rooms.
Need a break, or a place to have lunch or dinner? The stylish theatre bar is worth a visit on its own. It offers an amazing view on the historic square where the theatre is located. And in summer it has arguably the nicest terrace in the city – the coolest break-out room you could possibly imagine. Oh, and if you’re interested: the venue will be happy to arrange a behind-the-scenes tour of the building for your guests.
Located in the heart of Ghent
NTGent is not only an extraordinary venue, it is also superbly located. Ghent is one of those wonderful historic Flemish cities where you can enjoy culture, go shopping, or have the best night-out of your life. And it would be hard to find a more central location in the city than NTGent. On one side of its square rises the medieval belfry. On the other side you’ll find Saint Bavo’s Cathedral, home of the Ghent Altarpiece by Jan van Eyck, one of the most important works in Western art history. The painting has been recently restored and with its rich colours and jaw-dropping virtuosity it is guaranteed to move even people who don’t care much for art. Go pay it a visit – it will make your congress at NTGent even more memorable.
