St. Wenceslas Festival in the Glassworks

 

28. 9. 2024
10:00 – 17:00

A day when beer flows in a stream in the Rückl glassworks and the smell of after-holiday cakes and roasted meat attracts you from afar. Come and say hello to St. Wenceslas, Duke of Bohemia, who has promised to visit us on this festive day.
Blow your own pint at a special price or carve a royal crown motif on your glass.
You can also buy a pint at a special price (while stocks last) and get a free beer as a gift from us.
You will also enjoy the period crafts. See a master blacksmith at work and mint your own commemorative coin to take away from us as a free souvenir.
Entertainment for children will be provided. A presenter will guide you through the day’s festivities, with music for good cheer.
The corporate shop is open throughout the event and has prepared special offers for you.
Admission to the outdoor areas of the venue and the accompanying programme is free.
There is a fee to enter the glassworks building for guided tours and active experiences.
Purchase tickets for guided tours and active experiences early online here.
We look forward to seeing you there!
