ABOUT THE FAIR
The "Countryside" fair in Ghent is an annual lifestyle event that is dedicated to rural living and presents a diverse range of products and services from various sectors. It is organized by Flanders Expo N.V. and takes place at Flanders Expo in Ghent, a significant and easily accessible exhibition center.
The central themes of the fair include interior and exterior decoration, culinary specialties, fashion, health, happiness, and crafts, as well as travel and excursions. These diverse themes are represented by more than 200 exhibitors, whose offerings range from interior design and gardening to fashion, beauty and wellness consulting, holiday destinations, and decorative items.
The fair is of great importance to Ghent and Belgium as it highlights local artisans and producers and offers visitors insights into Belgian culture and craftsmanship. Special highlights of the fair include workshops, tastings, lectures, entertainment, and a cozy Christmas village where visitors can find unique Christmas gifts and enjoy festive drinks.
Exhibitors come from various industries, including interior design, horticulture, fashion, gastronomy, and tourism. The main audience consists of locals and tourists who are interested in rural living, high-quality products, and authentic experiences.
"Countryside" is an independent event and is not part of a series of fairs. It provides exhibitors and visitors with a unique platform to learn about current trends and developments and to gather inspiration. The venue, Flanders Expo in Ghent, with its central location and excellent transport connections, is the ideal place for this event.
The Countryside will take place on 4 days from Friday, 27. November to Monday, 30. November 2026 in Ghent.
