De Werf

De Werf is a concert hall in Bruges dedicated to jazz and experimental music performances. The building contains recording facilities and hosts a variety of artistic productions throughout the year.

The venue opened in 1993 as both a performance space and a recording operation. In 2017, it joined forces with another cultural organization from Ostend to expand its reach.

The venue serves as a gathering space for jazz musicians and experimental artists who perform and record here. It functions as a hub for improvised music and contemporary performance in the Belgian arts scene.

The hall is easily accessible by public transportation from anywhere in Bruges. It is helpful to check the schedule in advance since programming changes regularly throughout the year.

The venue operates its own record label, W.E.R.F., which releases recordings from local and experimental artists. This label captures performances that take place within the hall itself.
