This Week’s Spotlight: Films and Feelings
June 8–14: Lurdy Cinema (Lurdy Mozi) rolls out “New week, new films, new experiences,” curating the week’s best movies in one place—animated stories for little ones, films for grown-ups, and shared screen time for families. On June 14, “Aki a szakítás után leszel – SHOW WORKSHOP” (Who You’ll Be After the Breakup – Show Workshop) lands in Budapest with a stage-meets-workshop format aimed at navigating heartbreak and a personal reset. Tickets run roughly $24.60–$34.20.
LEGO Fever: Brick Exhibition 2026 (Kockakiállítás 2026)
From June through mid-September, Lurdy House hosts Brick Exhibition 2026 (Kockakiállítás 2026), returning week after week with a bold promise: twice as big, three times better than last year. Expect nearly 10 million LEGO bricks, life-size models, and interactive fun. Stand next to full-scale premieres and snap photos—some builds appear only here—then unleash your imagination in a giant play area: build, create, play. The show insists it’s more than an exhibition; it’s inspiration that amazes and recharges.

Forty exhibitors from small and large networks across sectors, plus 10 talks on franchise and business topics, make it a go-to for anyone weighing expansion, partnerships, or a fresh start.
November 21: Hungary Pen Show is a themed day for lovers of fountain and ballpoint pens, mechanical pencils, inks, and specialty papers. Get hands-on with the latest writing trends, test tools and tints, and chat with collectors, stationery fans, and both Hungarian and international industry players. It’s a celebration of analog creation, the joy of handwriting, and in-person community—unmissable if you adore fine instruments and premium paper.
One-Night Exclusives

Why Lurdy House Works
There’s a simple formula: keep it friendly for kids, give adults a reason to linger, then add niche gatherings that make enthusiasts feel seen. In 2026, that means a summer of life-size LEGO wow moments, a calendar of steady film nights, a personal development pit stop, a beauty industry meetup, a franchise marketplace, and a love letter to handwriting. It’s all under one roof in Budapest’s 9th District—easy to reach, hard to leave without a story.
