Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition in Brussels, Tour & Taxis, until 20 May

The exhibition 'Titanic: real objects, real stories' has dropped its anchor in the capital. Until 20 May, keen historians or lovers of the film adaptation can discover more than 260 objects recovered from the wreck site, and numerous reconstructions of the ship's emblematic places, including its grand staircase, a first-class lounge and the boiler room.

The exhibition tells the tragic story of the famous ocean liner, the remarkable men and women who were on board and its fatal crash with an iceberg four days after setting sail.Find more information here.

Saint Patrick's Day in Brussels

Last but not least, Sunday 17 March is Saint Patrick's Day, marking the Emerald Isle's annual celebration of its patron saint. Brussels' growing Irish diaspora means that there is a huge range of events taking place to celebrate the occasion.

From jam sessions and a parade through the city centre to the hotly anticipated Six Nations rugby match and arts and crafts workshops, there is plenty going on for all the family.
