You are a BSV member. Why did you join us ?

We enjoy being a member of a strong network. Heidi Martens*’s idea to view each other as partners rather than competitors is just brilliant and her relentless lobbying strongly supports our industry.

Last question on the future of events: How did you cope following the pandemic and how do you see the evolution of events in the months to come?

We created a mobile catering service when people couldn’t come to our venue and are developing this aspect more and more. 
La Tricoterie is exporting its excellent organic and zero waster cuisine everywhere in Belgium now.

We also created a theatre of 150 places and an extra room, the Attic, with a crowd founding call. 
La Tricoterie is a co-operative and many people showed us their full support by co-financing the theatre in the middle of the pandemic. We are very thankful for this!
