Info

A unique location for an exceptional event.
A renovated and modernly equipped textile factory from the nineteenth century for your personalised events : weddings and business parties, congresses, fairs, seminars, concerts, ...

The oldest buildings, among which the "Grote Fabriek", the "Kleine Fabriek" and the "Promenade", date from the end of the 19th century. The buildings, visible from the street side, date from 1946 and were also part of the same factory - "Usines Cotonnières Indienneries Belges" - with a surface of 46 ha. They reached up to the beautifully renovated historical towers of the Vynckier factory (General Electrics).
The factory was divided at the bankruptcy of the Usines Cotonnières and the building of the current Eskimofabriek was saved, cleaned and adapted around 1970 to the activities of the company De Groote with its well-known "Eskimo".
In 1996, "Eskimo" moved to Melle, which resulted in empty buildings for some time. The organizers of the Eskimo-parties took their chance to transform this historical building to the fairly successful eventhall. At the beginning of the year 2000, "Eskimo" had expanded to a mega festival, well-known far beyond all bounds. Among many others, the internationally known Dewaele Brothers of Soulwax and Saint-Germain have performed at the Eskimofabriek.


Since the beginning of the year 2005 and after submitting a town-planning and environmental permission, we have started the renovation of the oldest parts of the Eskimofabriek, as these would meet the legal requirements for fire security and environment.
In brief, a unique and saved part of history in the 19th century zone, of which we hope this will contribute to the further extension and emanation of our beautiful town of Gent.
