Dragons at the chateau

Family fairy tale festival for all who believe in happy endings and fairy-tale creatures

Dragons the size of a child’s palm, but also huge as a bus will take over the fairy-tale Šimák Chateau for one weekend a year. At the children’s festival, however, in addition to dragons, fairies, princesses or pigs come to life.

During the festival, chateau turns into a fairy tale place. Around every corner you will find fancy creations and decorations that so much complete the atmosphere. The fairytale mood at the festival includes not only the main programme in the form of children’s performances, but also decorations, interactive inputs and attractions.

The festival will again include children’s attractions such as bow shooting or children’s wooden catapult. You can find them on the Dragon Map, which is part of the children’s ticket.

Traditionally, the festival includes workshops for the production of dragon souvenirs. In previous years, little visitors took home a wooden shield or their own cardboard dragon. This year’s souvenir, which is included in the price of admission as well as attractions and an interactive programme, remains a mystery for the time being, but children will once again produce something from the land of fantasy with the assistance of willing fairies.

Stands with food and sweet treats will be prepared, premium coffee or fruit wines will be available for older visitors. So come and enjoy puppet shows, theater and interactive programme, full of fairy-tale creatures and especially dragons.
