This week: films and a breakup reboot
From June 8–14, Lurdy Mozi fires up its standard promise: New week, new films, new experiences. The pitch is simple—best of the week in one place, animated tales for the little ones, movies for grown-ups, a shared experience for everyone.
On June 14, the mood turns to personal growth with You After the Breakup – SHOW WORKSHOP in Budapest, priced from about $25 to $35. It’s staged as a guided, energetic workshop performance designed to help you reframe post-breakup identity and momentum.
LEGO takes over: Kockakiállítás 2026
The summer headliner is Kockakiállítás 2026, boasting “twice as big and three times better” than last year, staged in multiple waves: June 18–21, June 22–28, June 29–July 5, July 6–12, July 13–19, July 20–26, July 27–August 2, August 3–9, August 10–16, August 17–23, August 24–30, August 31–September 6, and September 7–13. The hook: nearly 10 million LEGO bricks, life-size super models premiering only here, and an enormous playhouse where you build, create, and play. Snap photos next to full-scale LEGO builds you won’t see anywhere else, then dive into hands-on, family-friendly zones designed to spark creativity. The organizers call it more than an exhibition—an experience that inspires, amazes, and recharges.
Movie weeks roll on
Between and beyond those LEGO runs, Lurdy Mozi keeps the reels spinning with the same weekly banner—New week, new films, new experiences—on June 15–21, June 22–28, June 29–July 5, July 6–12, July 13–19, July 20–26, July 27–August 2, August 3–9, August 10–16, August 17–23, August 24–30, August 31–September 6, September 7–13, and then right through the fall: September 14–20, September 21–27, September 28–October 4, October 5–11, October 12–18, October 19–25, October 26–November 1, November 2–8, November 9–15, November 16–22, November 23–29, November 30–December 6, December 7–13, December 14–20, December 21–27, and December 28–January 3, 2027. The promise remains consistent—something for kids, something for adults, and a shared trip to the movies as a weekly habit.
Find your footing: personal reset talk
On June 27, Find Your Way Back to Yourself! speaks to anyone who feels unmoored by a fast, noisy world. The talk argues that as you drift from your authentic self, you lose the clarity and answers you’re looking for—not your fault, but now’s your chance to get off the sidelines. Expect perspective shifts, methods, and practical tools to reconnect step by step with who you really are, then follow through daily. It’s a pep talk and a toolkit in one.
Beauty pros reunite
On November 6, Beauty Forum 2026 keeps a 34-year tradition alive. It’s the annual meet-up for the beauty industry to learn what’s new, swap experience, and take a breather from the grind. The invitation is to show up, learn, brainstorm, laugh, and hug—the warm, human side of a trade event, and a ritual the community is keen to keep going.
Franchise, pens, and a TV reporter’s deep dive
November 19 brings the Hungarian Franchise Expo (Magyar Franchise Expo): 600+ participants, from entrepreneurs to those curious about franchise opportunities; 40 exhibitors from small to large networks across sectors; and 10 talks on franchising and entrepreneurship. If you’re building or buying into a brand, it’s a compact way to scan the landscape.
On November 21, the Hungary Pen Show turns Lurdy Ház into heaven for fountain and ballpoint lovers, mechanical pencil fans, ink obsessives, and fine paper fiends. It’s a niche, hands-on day to test writing instruments, inks, and accessories, chat with collectors and enthusiasts, and meet domestic and international industry voices. The vibe is unapologetically analog—craft, handwriting, and community in focus.
On November 27, Tvrtko – Chernobyl 40 (exclusive talk) lands in Budapest at $24 a ticket, a single-price, sit-down event led by the well-known TV reporter revisiting the disaster four decades on.
