Weather

Late March in Namur is early spring under Atlantic influence: daytime highs average 11–12 °C and night-time lows sit near 3 °C, while March delivers roughly 68 mm of rain across about 19 wet days. Show week 26–29 March 2027 typically mixes bright spells, brisk showers and a cool breeze off the Meuse, so pack a waterproof jacket, warm mid-layers and waterproof footwear for the walk between Hall 1, Hall 2 and the P+R at the venue entrance.

Plan for the climate

Check temperatures and pack accordingly

Venue connectivity

Belgium has dense, high-quality mobile coverage: Proximus, Orange Belgium and BASE all run 4G and 5G across Namur and Wallonia, and EU 'roam like at home' rules mean EU SIMs work at domestic rates. Visitors from outside the EU can pick up a Proximus or Orange prepaid SIM at Brussels Airport or in the city centre, or install an eSIM (Airalo, Orange Holiday, Proximus eSIM) before departure. Venue and hotel Wi-Fi is generally fast enough for email and video calls, but keep a mobile data plan for the exhibition halls.

Cultural notes

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

Tipping and service

Service is included by law in Belgian restaurants and cafés; rounding up the bill, or leaving 5–10% for attentive service, is the normal gesture. Taxi drivers appreciate rounding up to the next euro and ride-hailing is paid in-app.

Language and greeting

French is the working language in Namur and Wallonia, Dutch in Flanders, and English is widely used in the construction trade. Open with 'Bonjour' before a question, shake hands on meeting, and exchange business cards when discussing specifications or quotes.

Dress and timing

Business casual with sturdy shoes suits a two-hall trade floor and March weather. Appointments and meetings run on punctual Belgian schedules, and lunch is typically taken between 12:00 and 13:30.

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

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

Flights

Destination: BRU

Brussels Airport (BRU) is the main full-service and long-haul gateway, roughly 65 km from Namur Expo, while Brussels South Charleroi (CRL) about 45 km away handles most low-cost carriers; both connect to Gare de Namur by SNCB rail or shuttle plus rail. The 2027 show falls over the Easter weekend (Easter Sunday is 28 March 2027), so book flights and rail seats 6–10 weeks ahead and allow 1h20 for the BRU-to-Namur train leg when planning arrival times.

Visa

Belgium is part of the Schengen area. EU/EEA and Swiss citizens do not need a visa. Citizens of several countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Japan, Brazil and Mexico, are visa-exempt for short business visits. Other non-EEA nationals must obtain a Schengen Type C short-stay visa before entering Belgium for the show.

Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).

Processing: Applicants are advised to submit a complete file at least 14 working days before the intended departure date; processing can take longer during peak holiday periods.

Belgium accepts ATA Carnets for commercial samples, professional equipment and exhibition goods, which simplifies temporary import for exhibitors bringing demo units. Visa applications are handled through the Belgian Immigration Office (FPS Home Affairs) and its visa application centres.

Transport

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

Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Brussels Airport (Zaventem) (BRU): 55–70 min off-peak; Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL): 40–55 min; Liège Airport (LGG): 50–60 min; Luxembourg Findel Airport (LUX): 1 h 40 min – 2 h. Allow road or rail time to Namur Expo; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Namur Expo: Station / Namur Expo district, Avenue Sergent Vrithoff side: B&B Hôtel Namur; Namur city centre, Rue du Premier Lanciers: ibis Namur Centre; Namur city centre, close to the Meuse: Mercure Namur Hotel.

Ride-hail: Uber and Bolt both cover Namur with city-centre and station pickup points, and local firms such as Taxi Namur operate from the rank on the Gare de Namur forecourt. The station-to-Namur Expo run (about 2 km) costs EUR 8–12; ride-hailing is dependable on show mornings, though supply thins after the halls close and pre-booking a local taxi is safer for late departures.

Public transit: SNCB InterCity trains serve Gare de Namur from Brussels Airport, Brussels-Central and Liège-Guillemins, from where Namur Expo is a 15-minute walk (1.3 km) or a short TEC bus ride from the station forecourt. TEC single tickets cost EUR 2.00–2.50 by contactless card or the LETEC app and buses are free on Saturdays in Namur, while P+R Namur Expo at the venue entrance runs at about EUR 2 per day with a bus connection into the centre. Plan rail on belgiantrain.be or the SNCB app and buses on letec.be.

Parking: Namur Expo has a P+R car park at the venue entrance on Avenue Sergent Vrithoff at about EUR 2 per day, with free street parking on adjacent streets when a blue parking disc is displayed. Central underground garages such as Parking Namur Centre and Parking Saint-Nicolas charge roughly EUR 1.20–1.50 per hour, and a guaranteed private space near the venue can be pre-booked through Mobypark for show days.

Weather

Plan and pack for the event climate.

Month: March 2027 (26–29 March show window)

Temperature: Daytime highs of 11–12 °C (52–54 °F) and night-time lows near 3 °C (37 °F) in Namur during late March.

Seasonality: March is Namur's wetter shoulder season, with roughly 68 mm (2.7 in) of rain across about 19 wet days; expect fast-moving Atlantic showers, a cool Meuse breeze and changeable skies through the 26–29 March 2027 show window.

Packing: Pack a waterproof jacket, warm layers and comfortable waterproof footwear, as Namur in March averages 11°C by day and 3°C at night with frequent rain. Bring an umbrella or compact rain shell for the walk between Namur Expo halls, the P+R and Gare de Namur.

Plan your trip

Planning

Best day to visit: Friday 26 March 2027 (opening day)

Opening day brings every exhibitor fully staffed, the widest demonstration and product-launch schedule, and the strongest trade attendance, while Saturday and Sunday draw heavier general-public footfall and Monday 29 March is quieter for one-to-one negotiation. Planning the main hall walk-through on Friday 26 March and short follow-up meetings on Saturday morning gives the best mix of supplier access and productive meeting time.

Check passport validity and visa status — EU/EEA and Swiss citizens travel visa-free; non-exempt non-EEA visitors must file a Schengen Type C application at least 14 working days before departure.

Book flights to Brussels and onward rail to Namur — Compare fares early for the 26-29 March 2027 window and add an SNCB train from Brussels to Gare de Namur.

Reserve a hotel near Namur Expo — B&B Hotel Namur is 790 m from the halls and ibis Namur Centre 1.6 km; Mercure Namur Hotel (1.5 km) and ibis Styles Namur (4.3 km) are alternatives.

Complete online visitor registration — Register via bois-habitat.be (bois-habitat@easyfairs.com, +32 0 81 47 93 43) and save the badge confirmation for entry.

Download the hall plan and show programme — Shortlist stands covering timber construction, insulation and bio-sourced materials across the Namur Expo halls.

Request B2B meetings with target suppliers — Pre-book appointments with wood construction, insulation and sustainable furniture exhibitors to protect on-stand time.

Plan arrival by train, bus or car — From Gare de Namur take TEC bus 27 or walk about 10 minutes; drivers can use free adjacent street parking with a disc or P+R Namur Expo at the venue.

Shortlist conference sessions and MasterClass slots — Review programme sessions on wood construction, carbon neutrality and bio-sourced materials and reserve seats.

Check the March forecast and pack accordingly — Expect 11°C daytime and 3°C at night with frequent rain; pack a waterproof jacket, layers and waterproof footwear.

Prepare meeting documents and materials — Print specifications, business cards and product briefs for scheduled supplier meetings.

Travel to Namur and collect your badge — Arrive on 26 March, collect the badge at Namur Expo, Avenue Sergent Vrithoff 2, and orient in the halls before the first meetings.
