Theatre le Forum

Theatre le Forum is one of Liège's most distinctive historic performing arts venues, opened in 1922 and renowned for its richly decorated Art Deco architecture. Ornamental features, gilded details, stained glass and an elaborate interior give the building the character of a classic European theatre. The auditorium can be adapted to different types of events and accommodates approximately 600 to 2,000 visitors depending on the configuration, hosting theatre productions, concerts, comedy shows, ballets and other live performances.

The interior is a major part of the venue experience. Seating arranged around the large stage, acoustics suited to live performance and the decorative Art Deco surroundings create an atmosphere that works for both more intimate shows and larger productions. Practical audience reception areas and cloakroom facilities are available, while additional hospitality and refreshment services may vary according to the event.

The venue is located at Rue Pont d'Avroy 12/14, Liège, Belgium, in the central part of the city. Public parking garages are available nearby, while the Pont d'Avroy (Hazinelle) and République Française bus stops are only a few minutes' walk away; the Sauvenière tram stop is also within a short walking distance. From this central area, the entrance is easily reached on foot along Rue Pont d'Avroy, while broader information about travelling around Liège and connections with other parts of the city can be found further down the page.

Liège, the dynamic heart of Wallonia, blends urban energy, culture, and a passion for sport into a city that always knows how to entertain. Concerts, matches, and major shows here feel intense, and the crowd is known for its warm atmosphere and loud support. With the city’s distinctive character—ranging from industrial heritage to lively neighborhoods—it’s easy to find a reason to stay beyond the event itself.

When it comes to logistics, Liège is surprisingly easy to navigate. The main railway station, Liège-Guillemins, is strongly connected to national and international lines, making arrival by train a frequent go-to option. Around town, getting around is practical via the TEC bus network, and an extra backbone is provided by tram T1, which helps you reach key areas and make smooth transfers toward arenas and stadiums. If you’re flying in, Liège Airport (LGG) close to the city supports quick transfers and straightforward trip planning.

Beyond having your ticket ready, it’s worth counting on a comfortable stay: Liège offers a wide range of accommodation, from hotels near the center to more budget-friendly options well linked by public transport. The city is known for its laid-back food scene, where local flavors and modern bistros fit easily into plans before or after an event. Many visitors also appreciate the feeling that everything is “within reach,” so the evening can come together without unnecessary stress.

For a sightseeing bonus, head toward the old town and stroll around Place Saint-Lambert, then make your way down to the banks of the Meuse for an easy walk with skyline views. If you want the best panorama, climbing the Montagne de Bueren rewards you with memorable photos, while the Le Carré district brings a lively vibe for drinks and a late bite. That’s how Liège becomes more than an event destination—it becomes a complete city-break experience.
