Pottery Market
Join us in welcoming the arrival of spring at the annual Pottery Market at Nelahozeves Castle. Held each year in April, this family-friendly event celebrates traditional Bohemian pottery and ceramics, music, wine and food in the magnificent interiors and on the lovely grounds of the Castle.
The rich two-day program includes tours of the Castle’s exhibition, Private Spaces: A Noble Family at Home, by guides in period costume; a falconry show; historical games and shows; a puppet theater and a variety of children's craft workshops. An excellent assortment of lunch and dessert options from Lobkowicz Catering are served in the picturesque courtyard and garden, and award-winning Lobkowicz wines and beers can be sampled and purchased at stands throughout the property.
Also open throughout the weekend is the Castle Gift Shop, where you can find a wonderful selection of unique gifts, including jewelry, hand-blown glass, postcards and other souvenirs.
