Accessibility and wheelchair spaces

At Forest National in Brussels, wheelchair users enter to the left of the main entrance and sit in the green or orange zone.

Book wheelchair spaces by phone or through the contact form, with room for one companion. Arrive at least 40 minutes before the start: a steward checks your ticket and volunteers take you to your seat.

Booking wheelchair spaces

Book wheelchair spaces by phone or through the contact form, not on the website. Book your companion's seat at the same time: Forest National has room for one companion per wheelchair user. For safety reasons, wheelchair users can't take a regular seat, including on the floor.

Spaces are limited, so book early. Would you like to sit with your family? Just ask: we'll see what we can do, although it isn't always possible.

Arrival and entrance

The entrance for wheelchair users and visitors with reduced mobility is to the left of the main entrance. A steward checks your ticket there and volunteers take you to your seat. The medical team, on site at every event, is also at this entrance.

Arrive at least 40 minutes before the start. Door times are on the event page the day before the event.

Where are the wheelchair spaces?

The wheelchair spaces are in the green zone, in blocks 121, 122, 127 and 128, and in the orange zone, in blocks 103, 104, 109 and 110. The seating plan shows where these blocks are.

Accessible restrooms

There are accessible restrooms in three zones:

Green zone: near the foyer, behind the red and blue doors. This restroom is locked; ask for the key from the medical team at the wheelchair entrance.
Orange zone: two accessible restrooms.
Gray zone: one accessible restroom.

Accessible parking

With a European disability parking card, you can reserve a parking space right by Forest National for € 15, or park for free on the street.

Reserved spaces are at Parking Globe or the Colruyt parking lot next to the venue. You can’t choose which one: it depends on availability. Spaces are limited. You request a space through the registration form, no earlier than 2 weeks before the concert; a staff member reviews your request and emails you the next steps.

Reserve a parking space for a visitor with limited mobility

How the reservation works and when the € 15 isn’t refunded is explained in the Helpcenter: Parking with a European disability parking card at Forest National.

Without a reservation, your card lets you park for free in one of the 7 spaces on the public road to the left of the venue, on Avenue Victor Rousseau. These spaces can’t be reserved. If they’re taken, you can also park for free on the street in the event zone around the venue.

To park for free in Brussels, register your license plate in advance and display your original card at the bottom of your windshield. Parking Brussels explains how on its page Parking for people with disabilities.

All other parking lots are listed under parking and Park and Ride.

By public transport

The shuttle bus from P+R Coovi/Ceria is wheelchair accessible, and so are the tram and bus stops near the venue. By train, Bruxelles-Midi is fully accessible; Forest-Est station only partly.

Lines and stops are on Public transport: train, tram and bus.

Deaf or hard of hearing

You're welcome to bring an interpreter of your choice; your interpreter also needs a ticket. Sometimes the organizer provides an interpreter or adapted tickets. Contact us and we'll see what we can do together.

Blind or visually impaired

Your guide dog can go everywhere with you. The dog wears a harness, a vest and an official card or tag, so everyone can see it's a certified guide dog. Let us know in advance so we can inform our staff.
