Zalenzoeker (City of Ghent): finding venues and applying for city venues.

Last updated: 11 June 2026

💡
In short: with the Zalenzoeker you can find city-owned and private venues in Ghent. Reserving a city venue requires an account and a timely application.

What is the Zalenzoeker?

The Zalenzoeker is a tool from the City of Ghent to explore the range of venues in Ghent.

You can find:

  • City venues (venues managed by the City of Ghent)
  • Private venues (venues offered by private providers)

When do you use this?

Use the Zalenzoeker if you want to organise an activity and you:

  • want to quickly see which venues are available,
  • want to compare specific information per venue (e.g. location, capacity, facilities),
  • want to apply for/reserve a city venue.

How does it work? (steps)

  1. Go to the Zalenzoeker.
  2. Choose Find a venue and filter by what you need (e.g. venue type, location, capacity).
  3. Click on a venue to view the details.

Applying for / reserving a city venue (important)

  • To reserve/apply online for a city venue, you need a username and password.
  • Submit your request at least 4 weeks before the start of the activity.
  • The booking is only final after the City of Ghent checks and approves the request (you will receive a confirmation email).
  • Payment details follow after the reservation is approved.

Tips

  • Take set-up/take-down into account: you usually pay for the entire continuous period, including set-up and take-down.
  • Check the manual (PDF) on the website if you get stuck.
