Discover the Pottery Festival in Nelahozeves!

Come celebrate the arrival of spring and traditional crafts at a uniquely well-preserved 16th-century Renaissance castle!

This year marks the 20th edition of the Pottery Festival, taking place on April 26–27, 2025. Bring the whole family and enjoy not only a wide selection of ceramic and handcrafted goods but also a rich accompanying program.

You can look forward to jugglers, dance performances, live music, and pony rides for children. The dungeon, however, will remain closed—instead of starving, you'll find plenty of delicious refreshments awaiting you!
