Hal 5 is an event venue in the former Centrale Werkplaatsen in Kessel-Lo, close to Leuven station. Its industrial setting offers organisers a characterful place for a wide range of gatherings, from a business event or team-building session to a talk, market, photo shoot, family celebration or neighbourhood activity.

The Grote Hal can accommodate up to 300 people and is suitable for larger gatherings, presentations, trade fairs and markets. For smaller groups, options include De Lange Tafel, which has room for up to 56 people, and the Open Zone. The bar can also be used for an event. The different spaces give organisers the flexibility to choose a layout that suits their programme and group.

For food and drink, organisers can work with Hal 5's food partners. The venue has a food court and bar, with several food concepts under one roof. The event coordinator discusses enquiries and helps put together a tailored proposal. Visits to the venue can be requested in advance.

The halls are within walking distance of the station and can be reached by bicycle and public transport. There is no on-site car parking, but parking spaces are available nearby. When planning, bear the venue's conditions in mind: according to the latest quotation information, events must end by 11 pm, and weddings and dance parties are not permitted. The event spaces are covered outdoor areas, so temperatures may vary in winter. The bar can be heated.
