Festival Ô tour des contes : An intercultural festival in Brussels at the heart of Forest Abbey

In May and June 2023, it is Europe in my Region, an opportunity to discover and visit the projects supported by the ERDF in Brussels-Capital Region.

In addition to the necessary restoration of the remarkable heritage it represents, the municipality of Forest has therefore decided to continue giving the site a cultural purpose and to organise its complete redeployment so as to find new uses for it and giving the site a sustainable future.

The idea behind the “ABŸ cultural hub” is first and foremost to bring together in one place a variety of institutions linked to culture, art education and youth. There are plans to create a new performance hall, a small auditorium, a French library and a café and restaurant.

The ABŸ project involves a total investment of 32 million euros. The ERDF is financing an amount of 7.4 million euros.

The festival starts on 24 May, for schools & others, and will be open to the public from Friday 26th 6pm.
