The Bethlehem Yurt at the Castle by the Forman Brothers' Theatre

Throughout Advent, the terrace of the Riding School will host the Bethlehem Yurt of the Forman Brothers’ Theatre and their friends. In front of it, on the terrace, you will first be greeted by illuminated statues of pilgrims – both human and animal – and of course the Three Kings. After you've said hello to them, step inside the yurt, where a carved nativity scene awaits. Inside, you'll be able to spend time in the tea corner, play board games, or enjoy the experience with the so-called mechanical dioramas. Art workshops, which are part of the accompanying programme, will be held on weekends on the first floor of the Riding School.

The Delicate Beauty of Christmas: An Exhibition of Traditional Czech Decorations

The Rosenberg Palace is home to a forest of Christmas trees with artisanal decorations from Czech and Moravian companies that are masters of hand-blown and hand-decorated glass: Rautis, Koulier, Glassor Decorations, and HAN Design.

Each tree is inspired by a beloved Czech fairytale. Whether you're looking forward to The Three Peanuts for Cinderella or you love the film An Angel of the Lord, this exhibition offers you the chance to enrich your Christmas fairytale tradition with something truly unique, which is a cherished part of Czech intangible UNESCO heritage.
