Your visit

In the garden of the Grootseminarie, in the heart of Bruges. The entrance is in the Peterseliestraat, right opposite Leestenburg.

The performances will take place in and around the gardens and meadow of the Grootseminarie. The performance of Jam.Shenanigans will take place in the church of the Grootseminarie.

On Friday 26, Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 July, gates open at 1:00 pm.

The bar opens at 1:00 PM and closes at midnight. The food stands close around 9:30 PM. Tokens can be purchased or refunded until 11:00 PM at the latest.

For some performances, you need to reserve your seat in advance, as the number of seats is limited. For this edition those are Sinking Sideways, Joren De Cooman and Samuel Rhyner.

These performances are paying: Le Doux Supplice (base price € 13 - support Cirque Plus € 19 - Uitpas opportunity fee € 2.60) and Jam.Shenanigans (base price € 6 - support Cirque Plus € 10 - Uitpas opportunity fee € 1.20). You can buy tickets for these performances via this website or at the counter at In&Uit or at the info stand during Cirque Plus. Performances will start punctually, meaning latecomers will not be allowed in or have their tickets refunded.

We urge you to attend the performance on time. Reserved tickets that were not collected will be released again 15 min before the start. People on the waiting list will then have the first chance to enter.

If there are still seats available, it is possible to book tickets at the info stand on Cirque Plus itself starting from 1:00 pm. You can see which performances are already sold out via the programme overview on the website.
