CARNIVOROUS FESTIVAL – A Food Festival Full of Flavours, Aromas, Live Music and Experiences

As part of our Carnivorous Plants Exhibition, we are excited to invite you to a themed food festival on the weekend of 21–22 June 2025, aptly named "Carnivorous".

Enjoy a wide selection of meat specialities and beverages, accompanied by a rich programme for the whole family. Join us for an unconventional weekend full of flavours, aromas, and a relaxed atmosphere.

WHAT CAN YOU LOOK FORWARD TO?

There's something for everyone at this action-packed carnivorous weekend – whether you're a foodie, music fan, creative spirit, or part of a family.

Indulge in tastings of both traditional and unusual culinary specialties designed to thrill meat lovers and adventurous gourmets. A variety of live music performances will enhance the festival's vibrant atmosphere. For creative souls: don’t miss our workshops – make your own carnivorous terrarium or try your hand at sand art inspired by these fascinating plants.

Children will love the wooden attractions, petting zoo, and can even try their hands at milking a goat model! Adults can test their knowledge of beef cuts and assemble a fun “cow puzzle”.

There will also be live cooking shows in cooperation with the Association of Chefs and Pastry Chefs of the Czech Republic (AKC) – perfect for anyone who enjoys cooking or simply watching and tasting!
