📅 Saturday, 7 November 202
📍 Château de La Hulpe / Domaine Solvay

Meet new people somewhere unexpected.

Forget the usual mixer in a crowded bar.

This November, Mixer is heading into the autumn forest of La Hulpe for an afternoon and evening of new connections, conversations and a little fairytale magic. 🍂

We’ll meet as a group, break the ice together and then experience the Promenade Féérique / Fairytale Walk at Château de La Hulpe.

The idea is simple:

Come solo. Share an experience. Meet new people naturally.

🌲 What Are We Doing:

Our afternoon starts with a relaxed Mixr meetup and introductions at Domaine Solvay

Once everyone has arrived, we’ll get to know each other with some easy introductions before heading into the Fairytale Walk together

The experience takes us through the forest surrounding Château de La Hulpe, with storytelling, actors and an immersive atmosphere along the route

Rather than spending the whole event with the first person you meet, we'll encourage everyone to mix, walk with different people and discover who else is in the group

And when the forest experience ends

Those who feel like continuing can join us for a relaxed drink together afterwards.

✨ Why a Forest Mixer

Because meeting people doesn't have to mean standing around with a drink wondering who to talk to

Walking and experiencing something together gives conversations somewhere to start

Whether you've just arrived in Brussels or have lived here for years, this is an opportunity to step outside your usual circle and meet people you might otherwise never cross paths with

No networking agenda. No speed dating. No pressure

Just people meeting people

🗓️ The Place

Saturday, 7 November 2026

🍂 Meet at La Hulpe
👋 Mixer welcome & introductions
🌲 Walk and mingle together
✨ Fairytale Walk experience
🥂 Optional drinks/social time afterward

Exact meeting and Fairytale Walk entry times will be communicated once our group time slot is confirmed

Please arrive on time, as admission to the experience operates according to scheduled entry times

📍 Meeting Point

Domaine Solvay / Château de La Hulpe

The exact Mixer meeting location will be communicated to registered participants before the event

🎟️ Fairytale Walk Ticket

The Fairytale Walk is a third-party experience

Participants purchase their admission directly from the official organiser

⚠️ Please do not purchase your ticket until Mixer announces our selected entry time.

This is important so that everyone books the same session and we can experience the walk together.

🌍 Language

Mixer is an English-speaking international community

The social part of the event will therefore be hosted primarily in English.

You don't need perfect English — just enough to join the conversation.

👋 Who Is This For ?

This event is for international professionals, expats, newcomers and internationally minded locals who would like to meet new people around Brussels

It's particularly suitable if:

• You'd like to expand your social circle
• You're new to Brussels or Belgium
• Your friends have moved away and you'd like to meet new peopl
• You enjoy international environment
• You prefer activity-based social events to traditional mixer
• You simply want to do something different on a Saturda

And yes

Coming alone is completely normal

You don't need to bring a friend or already know someone in the group

That's exactly why we're meeting.

🧥 What to Bring

This is an outdoor November event, so dress for the weather

We recommend comfortable walking shoes, warm layers and rain protection if the forecast requires it

The goal isn't to dress for a nightclub — dress to enjoy an autumn evening outdoors.

⚠️ Important Information

The Fairytale Walk / Promenade Féérique is organised and operated by an independent third-party provider

Mixr is organising the social meetup around the experience and does not operate the attraction or control its ticketing, admission conditions, schedule, cancellations or other services

Participants are responsible for purchasing the correct admission ticket directly from the provider once the Mixr time slot has been announced

Any food or drinks after the experience are optional and paid individually

🍂 Come Solo. Leave Knowing More People

Sometimes the best conversations don't happen across a table

They happen while walking somewhere together

So this Saturday, we're swapping the usual mixer venue for an autumn forest

Come for the experience. Stay for the conversations

✨ Join Mixr at La Hulpe on Saturday, 7 November

Spaces for the Mixer group will be limited

RSVP and come meet someone new.
