Facts and practical information

The Vauxhall of Brussels, otherwise known as the Waux-Hall, is a historic building in Brussels' Park in Brussels, Belgium. It is named after the pleasure gardens of Vauxhall in London, which only became known to the inhabitants of Brussels in 1761, when a ballet entitled Le Phaxal was put on at La Monnaie/De Munt theatre. In Paris, the stage-builder Torré opened a "garden of amusements" in 1764, which the public came to call the Vaux-Hall de Torré. A Vaux-Hall d'hiver was set up in 1769 at the Foire Saint-Germin. ()
