Nominoë

Nominoë mini-variety show

With Nominoë, Witte Paard Productions, in collaboration with the City of Blankenberge, presents a unique show in which history, remembrance and entertainment come together.

The show is, first and foremost, a tribute to the Nominoë, the ship that is forever linked to the history of Blankenberge. We reflect on the story and the events that have secured a lasting place in the town’s collective memory.

But Nominoë is more than just a look back at the past. Drawing on this special piece of history, we take you on a journey to the Blankenberge of today. Because one thing is certain: there’s plenty to experience in this vibrant seaside resort! From the Flower Parade and the Harbour Festivals to the cosy seaside atmosphere, the many events and the special moments that characterise Blankenberge throughout the year: the town and its finest attractions take centre stage.

And, of course, Het Witte Paard wouldn’t be Het Witte Paard without its own surprising twist. Expect a unique mini-variety show packed with music, entertainment, surprising acts and the distinctive atmosphere that has made Witte Paard Productions so special for years.

Nominoë’ pays tribute to an important part of Blankenberge’s history, whilst also looking ahead and celebrating everything that makes the town so unique today. A show in which memories, experiences and the typical ambience of Het Witte Paard come together.

To-do list

From the Easter holidays onwards, the beach is transformed into a succession of hip terraces - sometimes with live DJ or with sultry music in the background. The cocktails still taste so good in the warm evening sun. For the sporty ones there is the O'Neillbeach club. There you can agree to go kiting or kayaking at sea, golf-surfing or wakeboarding. In August there is even a real ski slope. The skateboarders really get their money's worth then.

Also worth a visit are the nearby nature reserves 'De Uitkerkse polder' and 'De Fonteintjes'. The Uitkerkse polder is a vast polder landscape of more than 1400 ha that gives a nice picture of what the coastal polders looked like a hundred (and) years ago; the 'Fonteintjes' is a narrow belt of dunes with 3 lakes that are filled by a fresh water bubble under the dunes; unique here are the thousands of orchids that colour the dune grasslands purple in May and June.
