The Csaba Event Barn (Csabai Rendezvénypajta) in Békéscsaba is doubling down on what it does best: bringing people together around food, culture, and pure fun. This rustic events complex at 65/1 Gyulai Road (Gyulai út 65/1) is both a culinary and cultural center, a place where the beloved Csaba sausage (Csabai kolbász) and local products take the spotlight, and where family celebrations, weddings, festivals, friendly meetups, and company events feel right at home—far from the city buzz but close enough for an easy escape.
Sourdough Sundays: Bake Like a Pro
On January 11, The Baker Lady’s (Péknéni) sourdough bread workshop rolls into the barn. If the smell of freshly baked sourdough is your weakness, this is the moment to treat yourself. The invitation is warm and simple: surprise yourself or someone you love with a hands-on experience—an afternoon where kneading and shaping dough gives way to a golden crust and a crackling loaf. Békéscsaba’s home bakers, this one’s calling your name.
Real Ice, Covered Rink, Zero Excuses
The winter all-star is the covered ice rink at the Csaba Event Barn (Csabai Rendezvénypajta)—a genuine ice surface spanning 600 square meters (6,458 square feet) that runs for weeks. Located on Gyulai Road (Gyulai út), it’s your go-to spot for relaxed, good-vibes skating, from wobbly first steps to easy laps with friends. No skates? No problem. The rink team has sizes for everyone and even offers sharpening, so you can glide without the grind. The only thing left to do: tell your parents, rally the crew, and lace up for the real ice. Dates stretch through winter, so pick your week and go.
