Location

The address of the Moira is Wolvenstraat 10 (you walk into it at the end of the Plompetorengracht), but it is a large building. The door you need is the blue one on the right, with “Moira hall” in pink letters. Then you come down to the hall via the stairs. Unfortunately there is no elevator. .
