So much more than an abattoir | Abattoir, Anderlecht (ENG)

A multi-cultural attraction in Brussels.

 

Anyone who says Cureghem or Kuregem really means Abattoir. But when people talk about Abattoir today, they are no longer thinking of slaughter lines. With its popular markets, social projects, such as Ketmet and Collectmet, and with the innovative urban agriculture that covers the roofs, Abattoir is active on various fronts. Shopkeepers from around the world are to be found around the site. For many people with a migration background, this crowded place is the epicentre of their new life. * Date: Sunday, 23 September from 10.00 am to 12.30 pm * Meeting point: exit Clemenceau metro station, corner of Rue Jorezstraat and Rue de la Clinique/Kliniekstraat, Anderlecht  * Organisation: Brukselbinnenstebuiten [1] * Price: * Full price: €10 * Paspartoe at subsidized rate: € 2 (sign up at Muntpunt) * UiTPAS/Paspartoe benefit [2]: exchange 15 points for one ticket Discover all walking tours through the Brussels markets here: https://www.uitinbrussel.be/home-all-markets [3] Ontdek alle wandelingen en fietstochten langs de Brusselse markten op www.uitinbrussel.be/van-alle-markten-thuis [4].
