St Peter's Abbey is a unique venue, steeped in centuries of history. The different halls therefore offer the perfect setting for any occasion, ranging from smaller meetings to medium-sized conferences. 

Characterful halls

Each hall has its own particular charm. The spacious Chapter House stands out thanks to its pointed windows, which lend style to your lecture or conference. The Cellarium, by contrast, creates an intimate atmosphere during your dinner party, while the cloister gives your banquet or reception that little bit extra. Do you need meeting or break-out rooms? There are plenty to choose from in this beautiful abbey. A nice bonus: weather permitting, you can use the abbey garden or courtyard. 

Food & drinks

De Sint-Pietersabdij werkt niet met een vaste cateraar, wat je de vrijheid geeft om zelf een partner te kiezen die perfect aansluit bij jouw concept en smaak. Zo kan je de catering volledig afstemmen op jouw congres.

Accessibility

Located on Sint-Pietersplein square, the site is easily accessible. It is just a stone's throw away from the historical centre and Gent-Sint-Pieters railway station, with good connections to public transport. In addition, there are sufficient parking facilities close by. Or what about arriving by boat? 

The strengths of St Peter's Abbey as a conference venue

St Peter's Abbey is part of the Flanders Heritage Venues network. This network consists of unforgettable, high-quality venues for international conferences in Flanders. The centuries-old architecture, Gothic ceilings and wonderful courtyard turn the abbey into an enchanting setting for any conference or other event.  

In addition, the majestic façades of the abbey also hide a wonderful garden. This green oasis consists of a herb garden, an orchard, a vineyard and a large lawn. On the patio, various kinds of concepts can be implemented. Food trucks or an idyllic nomad tent, for instance, are perfectly in place here. Of course, the garden is also perfectly suited as a haven of peace and quiet where you can have lunch or relax after a conference.
