    Train (SNCB/NMBS national rail)

    Estimated costApprox. EUR 12-16 one way in 2nd class (estimate; confirm on SNCB/NMBS)
    Best forBrussels Airport (BRU) to Dendermonde or Lebbeke

    Estimated costApprox. EUR 2.50-4 single (estimate; confirm current SNCB/NMBS fare)
    Best forDendermonde to Lebbeke

    A short regional hop on the Dendermonde-Brussels corridor. From Lebbeke station the venue is a further bus or taxi ride, so build in 15-25 minutes for the last leg.

    Bus (De Lijn)

    Estimated costApprox. EUR 2.50-3 per single ticket via the De Lijn app (estimate; confirm current fare rules)
    Best forLebbeke and Dendermonde stations to Oktoberhallen, Wieze

    De Lijn covers the final kilometres to Wieze. Check the route planner for the stop closest to Schrovestraat and whether a short walk to the halls is needed; evening frequencies drop, so plan the return bus before the halls close.

    Taxi / pre-booked transfer

    Estimated costApprox. EUR 70-95 for the 45-60 minute transfer (estimate; agree the fare with the operator)
    Best forBrussels Airport (Zaventem) (BRU) to Oktoberhallen

    The fastest door-to-door option for a rural venue. Agree the price or meter before departure, and book the return trip in advance on show evenings when taxis are scarce around Wieze.

    Car and on-site parking

    Estimated costApprox. EUR 0-10 per day (estimate; the venue rate was not published in the captures reviewed - confirm with Oktoberhallen)
    Best forOktoberhallen car park, Schrovestraat 22A, Wieze

    Surface parking surrounds the halls and fills quickly during fairs. Arrive before opening on 24 October, and keep water-resistant shoes for wet grass or gravel after overnight rain.

    taxi

    Estimated costApprox. EUR taxi/rideshare from ANR to venue (estimate; confirm before travel)
    Best forAntwerp International Airport (Deurne) (ANR) to Oktoberhallen

    Weather

    Open-Meteo daily outlook for Lebbeke (public forecast API, estimate; confirm before travel): 24 October 2026 rain with highs near 12 C and lows near 8 C; 25 October 2026 rain showers with highs near 14 C and lows near 8 C. Practically this means a cool, damp show weekend with wet ground around the Oktoberhallen parking areas, so allow extra time walking from car parks to the halls and keep documents and devices in a water-resistant bag. Late October in East Flanders is variable rather than severe; check the KMI or Open-Meteo forecast in the final 48 hours, as showers can shift timing.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Belgium has dense mobile coverage on the Proximus, Orange Belgium and Telenet/Base networks, and 4G/5G reception in Lebbeke, Wieze, Aalst and Dendermonde is generally good, though speeds drop inside large steel-framed halls. EU SIM cards roam in Belgium at domestic rates; visitors from outside the EU should check their operator's roaming add-on or buy a Belgian prepaid SIM on arrival. Public Wi-Fi at Oktoberhallen was not confirmed in the captures, so plan to tether from a phone for stand demos and card payments. Belgian sockets are type C/E at 230 V, so bring an adapter for UK, US or Australian plugs and a power bank for a full show day.

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Language

    Lebbeke and Wieze are in Dutch-speaking East Flanders; Dutch is the local language, and organisers and exhibitors at Belgian veterinary and pharmacy events commonly switch to English, French or German with international visitors. Opening with a Dutch greeting before switching to English is appreciated by Flemish practice owners.

    Currency and payments

    Belgium uses the euro (EUR). Card and contactless payment are standard at hotels, restaurants and most stands, but keep some coins or small notes for De Lijn tickets bought at a sales point or for a taxi if the app is not working.

    Tipping and service

    Service is included by law in Belgian restaurant and bar bills. Rounding up or leaving 5-10 percent is a courtesy for good service, not an obligation, and tips are rarely expected in cafes or taxis beyond rounding the fare.

    Getting around the Dendermonde area

    Oktoberhallen sits in Wieze, a village within Lebbeke close to Dendermonde. Build in a taxi or De Lijn connection if your hotel is in Aalst, Dendermonde or Brussels rather than within walking distance, and note that rural bus frequencies fall sharply in the evening.

    Business hours and appointments

    Belgian clinics and suppliers typically work 08:30-17:00 on weekdays, and many practices close for lunch. For supplier meetings around Expovet, book slots in advance rather than dropping in, and expect Dutch-language paperwork alongside English or French documents.

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: BRU

    Book Brussels Airport (BRU) first: it has the only terminal-integrated rail station in the region, with SNCB/NMBS trains toward Brussels and Gent and De Lijn and FlixBus coaches from the bus hub outside the terminal. The Google Flights captures for Belgian departures showed short-haul European fares from Brussels in the EUR 35-48 range (Milan, Rome) and long-haul one-stop itineraries from about EUR 558, plus Ostend, Antwerp and Kortrijk departures in the EUR 144-376 band. Those samples are illustrative, not Expovet quotes, and fares move daily, so re-check on Google Flights or the airline site about six to eight weeks out and again in the final fortnight. If a direct flight lands at Antwerp, Ostend-Bruges, Charleroi or Eindhoven, compare the total cost including the extra road or rail leg before choosing it over BRU.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Brussels Airport (Zaventem) (BRU): Approx. 45-60 minutes by car to Wieze (estimate; confirm traffic); Antwerp International Airport (Deurne) (ANR): Approx. 45-60 minutes by car (estimate; confirm route); Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL): Approx. 1h20-1h40 by car (estimate; confirm route); Ostend-Bruges International Airport (OST): Approx. 1h10-1h30 by car (estimate; confirm route). Allow road or rail time to Oktoberhallen; on-site parking is usually available at major exh

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Oktoberhallen: Aalst: ibis Aalst Centrum; near Oktoberhallen: Hostellerie De Biek; near Oktoberhallen: B&B La Vie en Roses.

    Ride-hail: Uber and Bolt both operate in Belgium, but coverage is concentrated in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent and Aalst; around Wieze and Lebbeke availability is thin, especially on a weekend evening when a two-day fair closes. Treat ride-hailing as a backup rather than a plan: pre-book a local taxi for the return trip from Oktoberhallen, save the operator's number offline, and agree the fare to Brussels Airport before departure (approx. EUR 70-95, estimate). Hotel receptions in Aalst and Dendermonde can usually call a trusted local firm on the day.

    Public transit: Reaching Oktoberhallen by public transport is a two- or three-leg trip. Take SNCB/NMBS rail to Dendermonde or Lebbeke, then a De Lijn bus or taxi for the final few kilometres to Wieze. From Brussels Airport, the terminal train runs to Brussels-North, Brussels-Central and Brussels-Midi with connections toward Dendermonde; total journey time is roughly 1.5 to 2 hours including the final bus. De Lijn tickets are sold through the De Lijn app and at sales points, with contactless options on part of the network, so check the current rule for your specific route. Moovit and the De Lijn route planner both list combinations serving Oktoberhallen Wieze. Services thin out in the evening, so fix the return leg before the halls close rather than improvising at the stop.

    Parking: Oktoberhallen has surface parking around the halls, used heavily during fairs; arriving before opening on 24 October avoids the worst queue and gives a shorter walk to the entrance. The venue did not publish a per-day rate in the captures reviewed, so budget approx. EUR 0-10 and confirm with Oktoberhallen or the organiser before travelling. Accessible bays are normally sited close to the entrance, so ask the organiser in advance if you need a reserved space. Exhibitors arriving with vans or trailers should arrange unloading slots and vehicle access with the venue rather than arriving unannounced.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: October 2026, with the show running 24-25 October

    Temperature: Approx. 8 C to 14 C across 24-25 October 2026 (Open-Meteo daily forecast, estimate; confirm in the final 48 hours)

    Seasonality: Both show days carry rain or rain showers in the Open-Meteo outlook for Lebbeke, and late October in East Flanders is typically cool, grey and changeable rather than dry, with wet ground around the Oktoberhallen car parks.

    Packing: Pack a waterproof shell and water-resistant shoes for the walk between parking and the Oktoberhallen halls, plus a warm mid-layer for 8-10 C mornings and a spare pair of socks for a wet day. Bring a compact umbrella only if it will not obstruct aisles on the show floor, and keep a dry bag for catalogues, business cards and devices. A light scarf and gloves are useful if you plan an evening in Aalst or Dendermonde after the halls close.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)

    Mid-show days at Expovet Lebbeke usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.

    T-14

    decide whether you attend on 24 or 25 October and check expovet.be for pre-registration or badge options; save any confirmation email or QR code.

    T-14

    build your rail plan - SNCB/NMBS from Brussels Airport or your city to Dendermonde or Lebbeke, then De Lijn bus or taxi for the final few kilometres to Wieze.

    T-12

    reserve accommodation in Aalst, Dendermonde or close to Oktoberhallen; small East Flemish properties fill first on a late-October weekend.

    T-10

    write a short list of suppliers to visit by category (pharmacy, diagnostics, imaging, nutrition, software) with two or three questions per supplier.

    T-10

    check with your practice whether attending counts toward your CE record and what certificate or sign-in process you need on the day.

    T-7

    download the De Lijn app and a Belgian rail app, and check whether contactless card ticketing covers your specific route.

    T-7

    confirm whether you will park at Oktoberhallen or arrive by bus or taxi from Dendermonde station for the last leg.

    T-5

    check the Open-Meteo or KMI forecast for Lebbeke and pack a waterproof shell, a warm mid-layer and water-resistant shoes for wet parking areas.

    T-3

    sort data - EU SIM cards roam free in Belgium, non-EU visitors should check their roaming plan or buy a local prepaid SIM on arrival.

    T-2

    save the venue address (Schrovestraat 22A, 9280 Wieze-Lebbeke) and the organiser contact for on-site questions.

    T-1

    charge devices, pack business cards and a notebook for supplier price comparisons, and plan to arrive at hall opening rather than mid-morning.

    T-12

    Show day: budget roughly 45-60 minutes by car from Brussels Airport, or about 1.5-2 hours by train plus bus, and keep the return connection in mind before the halls close.
