Where can I breastfeed or pump?
Breastfeeding and breast pump facilities in our arenas: Sportpaleis Antwerpen, Lotto Arena, Vorst Nationaal & Trixxo Arena Hasselt
- All arenas have a first aid post where you can express milk discreetly. This space is made available during quiet moments, subject to availability. Medical emergencies will of course take priority in the event of a lack of space.
- The use of quiet, portable pumps in the venue itself is, in fact, not prohibited in our arenas as long as this is done discreetly, other visitors are not disturbed and no power supply is required. Of course, the use of electrical devices remains your own responsibility.
- Refigerating milk: The first aid post has a refrigerator where expressed milk can, temporarily, be kept cool. Visitors may bring their own cooler bag with ice packs, but the bag may not be larger than an A4.
- To ensure that your visit runs smoothly, please use a separate entrance for visitors with special needs:
- Sportpaleis Antwerp: use entrance 7b on the right around the corner from the box office
- Lotto Arena: use entrance 14a on the left around the corner from the box office
- Vorst Nationaal: use the door to the left of the main entrance, next to the box office
- Trixxo Arena: use the door to the right of the main entrance, next to the box office
Other rules apply in our theatres Capitole Ghent, Stadsschouwburg Antwerp & Trixxo Theater Hasselt
- Feel free to speak to our venue staff who can put you in touch with the Front of House. They will be happy to guide you to a suitable room where you can express milk in complete discretion.
- Due to the intimacy of our theatres, the use of (silent & portable) breast pumps is not permitted in the auditorium itself. We want to prevent other visitors or the artist from being disturbed during the event.
- Visitors may bring their own cooler bag with ice packs to keep the milk cool, the bag may not be larger than an A4.
- Use the regular main entrance and ask for the responsible of the venue to discreetly discuss your needs.
