A meaningful commitment and privileges
Members of the Circle benefit from privileged and free access to all activities organized at the China House: exhibitions, conferences, concerts, official events, meetings, and cultural activities. They receive a personalized welcome and can organize their own events in an exceptional setting.
They also enjoy exclusive access to the China House annex, the fully restored former stables, connected to the Palace by a direct pedestrian link of a few meters.
This unique, fully restored space is made exclusively available to members for their private receptions, dinners, conferences, concerts, or shows, both day and night.
This annex is exclusively reserved for Circle members and institutional and private partners of the non-profit organization responsible for the restoration and cultural activities of this Belgian heritage jewel.
Tailored guided tours, led by specialized and multilingual guides, are also reserved for them, including outside public opening hours.
By supporting this project, businesses affirm their commitment to sustainability, heritage transmission, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), through an exemplary cultural model in terms of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects.
Each year, the names of the Circle members are mentioned on all communication materials of the non-profit organization China House and the Countries of the Silk Roads: publications, brochures, website, press kits, and promotional and activity materials. An honorary mention will also appear within the Palace and its annex.
