Looking for fresh spaces for a photo shoot, a music video, or a film? We're here for you! Already a popular venue, SILO Brussels has broadened its offerings. We’re excited to lend our raw industrial architecture and energy to the art scene.

Here’s what creatives like you can expect from using our facilities and the perks we offer as a possible Brussels filming location.
Spoilt for choice, modern event spaces can feel lacking in uniqueness, personality, or a captivating back story. SILO Brussels, with its sleek industrial style and history, offers all three. It distinguishes itself from other venues through its authenticity and charm.
Here's a brief look at our history!
Believe it or not, our dramatic event space stood as an abandoned factory for decades. SILO Brussels thrived as a brewery in the early 1900s. It produced endless supplies of Belgian brew, lemonade, water and melts - until the water supply ran dry and production stopped. For thirty long years, it stood empty, gathering dust. Eventually, entrepreneurs discovered its potential and converted it into a prime office space and workshop area. After seven years of care, this once derelict building grew into a world-class venue. But the story doesn't stop there. Despite its transformation, the venue remained a hidden gem. This inspired the idea to turn SILO Brussels into an event space to showcase its uniqueness to the public.
Today, SILO Brussels is a signature venue. It has hosted hundreds of events across types, sizes and sectors, highlighting its versatility and adaptability. We're ready to take things to the new heights. Having recently unveiled The "SILO Press Zone", we're also promoting SILO Brussels as a potential space for videos, shoots and more. With a history spanning over 100 years, our venue provides more than an event space to snap pictures or film. It is a place to tell your story, intertwined with our own.
We can easily morph our 16 dynamic spaces to meet your creative needs. Our rooms might share the same raw industrial chic charm, but each can bring its own distinct style to your concept. And while not every space might fit your artistic expression, many of them can be utilised as:
The venue offers various backdrops, from grand halls to cosy corners, to bring your story to light. Here are a few of our favourite spots. Meudon, our biggest, is bookmarked for bigger gatherings.

Our Navy’s event room offers an intimate setting with our signature, sturdy columns, adding a touch of industrial refinement to your project.

Our rooftop offers a chance to incorporate vibrant city scenery - like idyllic canals and the iconic skyline - into your shot or film.
SILO Brussels might have a well-preserved past. But, knowing the unique demands of production crews, we've combined our legacy with modern facilities. We've designed our halls, studios, and more with amenities to keep cameras charged and the lights on. We have all you need to film, including electrical units and rooms powered by high-speed WIFI. In addition, our bathrooms serve as change rooms for performers, while empty spaces offer retreats between takes.
