Meeting rooms are rented by the hour, with a minimum of 2 hours.

Zebrastraat is an inspiring environment thanks to the permanent art collection of the Liedts-Meesen Foundation. Various contemporary artworks are scattered throughout the premises, and art is integrated into the public space. The collection can be freely viewed at any time via the Zebra Route App. Additionally, all meeting rooms feature artworks and are named after the artists present on-site.

The exclusive lounge, designed by artist Didier Faustino, can be considered the heart of Zebrastraat. On Thursday evenings, cultural and musical evening programs are hosted, but the lounge can also be exclusively rented for walking dinners, receptions, and special dinners. This lounge includes a kitchen and a central bar. Included in the rental price of this impressive venue is a foyer with a cloakroom and reception desk, stylish and comfortable furniture, a high-quality sound system, a 4K Ultra HD 98-inch screen, and microphone connectivity.

At Zebrastraat, you can use various unique meeting and event rooms. For example, there's the exclusive XYZ Lounge, designed by artist Didier Faustino, which is suitable for walking dinners, receptions, and various networking events. The lounge consists of three spaces, each with its own special function and unique furniture.

On the roof of Zebrastraat, you'll find the Boardroom Alain Liedts, where visitors can enjoy a breathtaking view of the artwork Warsubec by Nick Ervinck. This space is the ideal meeting room with an adjoining cinema room and a small equipped kitchen & bar.

For conferences and larger meetings, the multipurpose room Ned Kahn is an ideal setting. With an area of 210m² and a retractable wall that provides access to the bar and catering area, this room can be arranged according to your preferences. The multimedia system, lighting infrastructure, and modular buffet bar complete the setup.

If you're interested in organizing an event at Zebrastraat, the impressive XYZ Lounge can provide a beautiful backdrop. You also have the option of choosing an outdoor setting. For corporate parties and events, the space around the oval-shaped central courtyard with a pond is the perfect setting. Additionally, a tent structure setup is possible! During the summer, this courtyard can be transformed into an exotic beach setting around the pond with a pop-up bar or food trucks. The courtyard is also suitable for outdoor receptions, walking dinners, or teambuilding activities.

In addition to offering event spaces, Zebrastraat also hosts various events itself. The NTAA biennial draws thousands of visitors from around the world, making it the ideal opportunity to get acquainted with the local art scene, discover new artists, and network. Aside from the art fair, various events and festivals are organized throughout the year.

Zebrastraat even hosts a pop-up beach bar called Zebrabeach in the summer and the Zebrawoods music festival in the winter. For weekly concerts, DJ sets, and vernissages, you can visit the Zebra Café. There's always something happening at Zebrastraat, and it's clear that Zebrastraat has established itself as a versatile and artistic venue for various events over the years.

Zebrastraat is one of the most iconic streets located in the heart of Ghent, known for its lively atmosphere, vibrant culture, and rich history. Its history dates back to the 19th century when Ghent had its own zoo. However, the zoo had to make way for the rapidly growing city, particularly during the flourishing textile industry era, despite the harsh living conditions of the workers.

To address this issue, the 'Gentsche Maatschappij der Werkers Woningen' commissioned Charles Van Rysselberghe to build modern workers' houses. The result was an unusual design known as "Het Cirk," which served as a playground for generations of workers' children. After 100 years of neglect, the architectural gem was fully restored in 2001 by the Liedts-Meesen Foundation, which added additional functions such as housing units, seminar spaces, a multifunctional meeting area, and exhibition space. All of this was accomplished without altering the original facades.

Following the renovation of the inner courtyard, the residential function remained, but along the street side, five state-of-the-art seminar rooms, a versatile meeting place, and 750m² of exhibition space were added. Today, it is a vibrant location where art, culture, and creativity converge, allowing visitors to enjoy the way these elements come together. Several small businesses and entrepreneurs have made it their home, giving the street a unique character and atmosphere. Thanks to the diversity of venues available for organizing events, many external businesses are also attracted to the area.
