Carillon summer concerts 2026

Enjoy the sounds of the carillon during the summer months within the enchanting setting of the inner courtyard of the Cloth Hall. An oasis of peace in the cozy city center. In addition to the weekly carillon recitals on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 11 am, there are evening concerts on Mondays and Wednesdays during the summer. In collaboration with the Bruges Carillon Association, city carillonneur Wim Berteloot has put together an engaging program. Behind the carillon keyboard, in addition to our own city carillonneur Wim Berteloot and assistant city carillonneurs Brecht Berteloot and Jean-Piere Hautekiet, will be guest carillonneurs from home and abroad. View the program of the summer carillon concerts.
