A riverside hideaway with history in its bones and a modern pulse in its heart, Malom és Kacsa in Tata is rolling out a jam-packed 2026 calendar. Think theater nights and intimate concerts, immersive workshops and gallery vibes, wellness rituals and food adventures that flirt with indulgence. All of it unfolds at 2890 Tata, Tópart u. 19., where three restored, heritage-protected mills cradle a boutique hotel and a lakeside restaurant with serious views of Old Lake (Öreg-tó). Premium escapes, historic charm, and real downtime meet here—and the organizers reserve the right to tweak dates and programs if needed.
Open Day: Behind the Mill Walls
March 8, 2026, is your chance to peek behind the scenes. The whole place opens up with guided walks through the hotel, event spaces, and hidden corners you can’t see from the path. Drop in anytime from 10:00 to 16:00. Participation is free, but you’ll need to register by March 5. If you’ve only ever strolled past, this is the moment to step inside.
Women’s Day Yoga: Find Your Own Flow
Also on March 8: NAMASTE – Kacsaste Women’s Day yoga workshop for confident, independent practice. A spring morning invitation to gift yourself quiet, focus, and the freedom of moving on your own terms. Celebrate the woman within by carving out time for growth and inner calm, and find your path on the mat. No prior yoga experience required. Tata hosts; you bring the curiosity.
Raw Theater: Apád előtt ne vetkőzz
March 11 brings Péterfy-Novák Éva’s Apád előtt ne vetkőzz (Don’t Undress in Front of Your Father), staged and directed by István Tasnádi for audiences 18+. Performed by Bori Péterfy and Ferenc Pataki, with visuals by Adrienn Antal-Fógel, poster design by László Csáfordi, and produced by Tibor Orlai, the play threads two timelines that echo in unsettling ways. In the early 1920s, the Spanish flu takes the parents of eight-year-old Károly and four-year-old Anna, sending them to an orphanage. Half a century later, five-year-old Eszter forms an unusually intimate bond with her grandfather, Tatus, whom she trusts more than anyone—until that trust is abused. Can warped family patterns be broken across generations? From the creators of Egyasszony (One Woman), this is a fearless, taboo-cracking work born from the collaboration of Óbuda Cultural Center (Óbudai Kulturális Központ), FÜGE, and Orlai Productions. Tata is the stage; the questions linger long after the lights dim.
Sauna Addicts’ Weekend
March 14–15 is for the steam faithful. Inside the Malom és Kacsa Boutique Hotel, sauna culture takes center stage: unique sauna rituals, themed infusions, essential oil ceremonies, and a full-on sauna master show. Between rounds, cool down in the fresh air, melt into relaxation zones, and let the lakeside calm by Old Lake (Öreg-tó) complete the experience. If sauna time is more than rest—if it’s a passion and a communal rite—this weekend’s yours.
St. Patrick’s Night: A Proper Irish Escape
On March 17, the house goes green. St. Patrick’s Day lands with Guinness on tap—creamy-capped and poured right—and live, authentic Irish tunes from 19:00 with Seamróg feat. Márti. The kitchen answers with chef’s specials inspired by Ireland: bold flavors designed to pair with the music and the stout. Got something green in the closet? Wear it. Tata, but make it Dublin for a night.
Soothing the Soul: Sound Bath and Spring Feast
March 20 is a woven experience where taste cradles the body and sound holds the soul. The evening opens with a guided deep relaxation accompanied by crystal singing bowls—a quieting of thoughts, a cocoon for the spirit, and a release for the body from the grip of stress and suppressed emotion. After the inner stillness, the second act is a culinary journey inspired by spring’s bounty. The restaurant’s chef plates the essence of the season: aromatic richness, color, and texture that delight the palate and gently lift the spirit. More than a dinner, more than a relaxation, it’s a one-of-a-kind sanctuary for a tired soul. Embrace your own on this night—quality me-time isn’t a luxury; it’s a need.
Jordán Tamás: Stand-up with Poems, Straight Into the Wind
April 15 welcomes Széllel szembe (Against the Wind), Jordán Tamás’s sly, genre-bending stand-up. He slips theater tales and everyday absurdities into a flowing talk that suddenly blooms into poetry—Karinthy, Kosztolányi, Radnóti, Attila József, Ady, Babits—recited so naturally it feels like part of the story. Jokes, anecdotes, and grotesque flourishes play across a wide emotional range, balancing quick, distilled wisdom with generous, rolling storytelling. The result? Light stories that open onto something deeper. No wonder it snagged the Vidor Festival’s Special Prize in 2013 for exemplary innovation in form.
Lakeside Hotel, Heritage Heart
Set along Old Lake (Öreg-tó) in Tata, the Malom és Kacsa Boutique Hotel **** Superior blends old-world charm with modern pampering. Themed rooms are designed for calm and inspiration—ideal for romance or an active break. The lakeside restaurant lives inside three renovated, protected mills: a place to sink into flavors, soak up the panoramic views, and feel the venue’s singular mood. Come for lunch or dinner, meet for a date, or let the sunset color your evening plate. Host your life milestones here, or bring the company event to a setting that actually inspires. Organizers reserve the right to adjust dates and programs as needed.
