Description:

The most beautiful of the last remaining Belgian ‘mirror’ tents, The Famous Spiegeltent, was built in 1920 by master craftsmen Oscar Mols Dom and Loius Goor. This Grande Dame has spent her lifetime at the bequest of festivals and village fairs throughout Europe and beyond, playing host to the world’s greatest cabaret performers and musicians. The Famous Spiegeltent has a season on our Theatres Forecourt during Spring and Summer.
