Discover Hal 5, a vibrant meeting place just outside Leuven’s ring road, housed in a repurposed warehouse. In this hub locals, students, and enthusiasts come together to enjoy a food court, a solidarity grocery store, and a variety of events. Hal 5 is the perfect spot where social entrepreneurship and sustainability go hand in hand.
Every second Sunday, you can explore the Camping Flamingo Market, where local makers and second-hand sellers showcase their products. On the first Thursday of each month, there’s Boetiek Sympathiek, a second-hand market where items are sold for just €3. Additionally, Hal 5 offers singing sessions, repair cafés, giveaway events, a pick-your-own learning garden, and many other activities like a plant market, a local farmers’ market (featuring high-quality products from small-scale producers), plus-size closet sales, and flower-picking days. You can even organize your own event in this unique space!
