FACTS Gent is a two-day festival for fans of comics, movies, series, games, and pop culture. This Comic Con event takes place on Saturday, October 31st, and Sunday, November 1st, at Flanders Expo Gent. Visitors can meet international actors and artists, participate in activities, and browse among many exhibitors. But above all, this Comic Con spectacle offers the opportunity to share each other's passion for cosplay, merchandise, manga, board games, and video games. The current program and guests are announced on the official FACTS website.

What makes FACTS extra special is that it is known as the oldest and largest pop culture and Comic Con event of the Benelux. Thanks to the spacious setup, the event is perfectly spread over two days. Because one day of Comic Con is fun, but two days are, of course, even better! This way, you get the most out of the ultimate experience: no stress due to long queues, but all the time to leisurely wander around, take the coolest photos, and comfortably schedule your meet-and-greets with famous actors.

Want to visit FACTS Gent? Tickets are available via the organization's official ticket channel. Both single-day and weekend tickets are available. For certain meetings, photo sessions, or other parts, additional tickets or reservations may be required. Therefore, check in advance which access is included with your ticket and which activities you need to reserve separately.

After a full day of cosplay, actors, and artists, it is nice not to have to travel home right away. Therefore, stay comfortably at Van der Valk Hotel Gent. The hotel is located on the edge of Ghent, near the E17 and E40, making it a comfortable base for a visit to FACTS. Stay in one of the 260 modern rooms or suites and fully enjoy your FACTS visit.

During your stay, you don't need to leave the hotel. There are plenty of facilities to provide you with all comforts. You can visit Restaurant Cocotte, the Italian restaurant Limocello and Skybar Mr. Sato. Hotel guests also have access to the Weleda Spa so you can fully relax after FACTS Ghent.

Visiting FACTS Ghent with your children? By staying overnight in Ghent, you can start the day at leisure and won't have to make a long journey back afterward. Even if you are using a weekend ticket, a hotel stay offers extra convenience. Book in advance, as availability can be limited around popular events.

FACTS Ghent takes place at Flanders Expo. Van der Valk Hotel Ghent is located at Akkerhage 10 and is situated near the E17 and E40.
