Tips & Advice
- Buy party-night tickets early, because every party night has a cheaper early-bird tier before the regular presale price applies.
- Email your cooking problem to sospiet@winterindendermonde.be before November 25; Piet picks three dishes to cook live, and the people who sent them help as his assistants.
- Arrive early for the Remember Fabriek after-work on December 3, because entry costs less early in the evening and you get a glass of bubbles when you arrive.
- Come hungry to the crooner afternoon with Yannick Bovy on November 24 and the 50+ afternoon on December 1, as both start with a three-course lunch.
- Groups of up to eight can share one VIP table, which gets you table service, a separate bar and the best view of the stage.
