BELGIUM: Back on Senne at the Sewer Museum, from now until 3rd January 2027

It is commonly said that Belgium has a Museum for Everything, but did you know that this country is home to a Sewer Museum?

Remi the Rat from Disney's Ratatouille may spring to mind, but it is in fact true, and Brussels is the location for this fascinating place. And from now until early-January 2027, Back on Senne is an exhibition that unlocks the hidden river beneath its premises. Projections, spatial sound and laser beams immerse visitors in a sensory landscape of moving light, tones and water movement. Workshops, guided walks and more are available.

The Sewer Museum is one of the 160+ museums throughout Belgium that take part in FREE Museums Sunday on the First Sunday of the Month too!

WHEN: Now until 3rd January 2027
WHERE: Anderlechtsepoort, 1000 Brussels

BELGIUM: How I Learned to Drive by Paula Vogel, Thursday 26 February to Saturday 7 March 2026

 

This play by Paula Vogel and presented by the American Theatre Company is a sharp, funny and quietly devastating piece. A Pulitzer Prize-Winning play is a wonderful combination of laugh out loud comedy and fearless storytelling.

At a time when one in five girls worldwide experiences sexual violence or harassment, Vogel’s play feels urgent without ever becoming heavy-handed.

WHEN: Thursday 26 February to Saturday 7 March 2026
WHERE: Warehouse Studio Theatre, Rue Waelhem 69A, Schaerbeek

WHO: Due to sensitive content, please note that this play is not recommended for those under 16 years of age.

Brunssum: Curios Thrift Shop Information Update

 

The Curios Thrift Shop has currently paused being able to accept any donations.

An update for our thrifters!

Just an update for you as we’re getting a few enquiries. We are still currently closed as we get our new store ready to open! We are working hard behind the scenes, please bear with us as we are all volunteers with young children.

We hope to be opening within the next few weeks, as soon as we have a more definitive date I will be posting here to let you know.

RE donations: Our new store is incredibly small and we have very little storage for overflow stock, so donations may be on pause for a while whilst we figure things out. Feel free to message with specific enquiries or alternative donation options.

You can find all the latest updates on The Thrift Shop's Facebook page.
