Win a trip to Leuven
2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the inscription of Belgian brewing culture on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. A true cradle of beer, Belgium combines centuries-old tradition with modern creativity. Flanders, particularly the Westhoek region, remains a major hop-growing area.
To celebrate this, together with our friends at LeShuttle, we’re offering two people the chance to come and experience Flanders for themselves. Drive from Folkestone to Calais in just 35 minutes, with unlimited luggage and explore the best of Flanders with your car. From Calais, it is just a short drive over the French border until you arrive in Flanders.
We will be hosting you in the city of Leuven, often known as the capital of beer. It is home to no less than 30 breweries, many of which you can find in the city centre or just outside. It is the birthplace of the famous Stella Artois but also many other small micro breweries, each showcasing their own unique beer craftsmanship.
Just off the main square, you’ll find the Oude Markt. It is likened to pulling up a chair to the longest bar in Europe. Nowehere else will you find so many catering establishments in one place. A perfect setting to sample local beers and the finest Flemish cuisine on offer.
Leuven is also the location of one of Europe’s oldest universities and a host of historical and cultural gems. A trip simply not to be missed.
