Skatepark des Ursulines: Rue des Ursulines (1000 Brussels). It is 600 metres from the Théâtre Les Tanneurs. To get there, walk down Rue des Tanneurs (staying on the same side of the street), cross at the Charles Gheude Institute (no. 41), then cross Rue du Miroir and Rue des Brigittines. Walk up Rue des Brigittines (on the pavement alongside the railway) to the Skatepark.
Shows in the Grande Salle, Salle L’Envers, Atelier, Foyer and Skatepark Ursulines are accessible to people with reduced mobility. To ensure you have the best possible experience, we ask you to let us know before you come to the Théâtre Les Tanneurs.
Unfortunately, due to their location (and the many steps required to access them), the Petite Salle, the Mini Salle, the Mezzanine and the Salle de Réunion are not wheelchair accessible.
To access the Petite Salle, you must walk 160 metres from the foyer and climb a flight of 20 steps.
To access the Mini Salle, you must walk 160 metres from the foyer and climb two flights of stairs, i.e. 40 steps.
To access the Salle de Réunion, there are three flights of stairs, i.e. 57 steps, to climb.
To access the Mezzanine, there are two flights of stairs, i.e. 18 steps, to climb.
To help you see clearly, we have prepared a PMR itinerary for each day. It includes shows that are accessible to wheelchair users. We also specify the distances between each show (as travel time must be taken into account).
