The Csaba Event Barn (Csabai Rendezvénypajta) is rolling into 2026 with a packed calendar and a clear mission: bring people together around food, culture, and play. Tucked away from the city buzz at 5600, 65/1 Gyulai Road (Gyulai út 65/1.), the rustic complex doubles as a gastronomic and cultural center that champions local traditions, especially the famed Csaba sausage (csabai kolbász) and other regional products. It’s also a go-to venue for family gatherings, weddings, festivals, parties with friends, and corporate events—essentially, any reason to celebrate.
Ice, Ice, Indoors: The Covered Rink
From December 29, 2025 through March 15, 2026, the Csaba Event Barn (Csabai Rendezvénypajta) hosts a covered, 600 m2 (6,458 sq ft) real-ice rink on Gyulai Road (Gyulai út). The setup is simple: a fun atmosphere, friendly vibe, and a smooth sheet of ice that begs for a spin. No skates? No problem—on-site rental has a full size range, and the team even offers sharpening. The message couldn’t be clearer: tell Dad, tell Mom, round up your friends, and hit the real ice.
The rink runs in weekly blocks:
– 2025.12.29. – 2026.01.04.
– 2026.01.05. – 2026.01.11.
– 2026.01.12. – 2026.01.18.
– 2026.01.19. – 2026.01.25.
– 2026.01.26. – 2026.02.01.
– 2026.02.02. – 2026.02.08.
– 2026.02.09. – 2026.02.15.
– 2026.02.16. – 2026.02.22.
– 2026.02.23. – 2026.03.01.
– 2026.03.02. – 2026.03.08.
– 2026.03.09. – 2026.03.15.
Each period brings the same promise: a covered rink with real ice in a laid-back setting, hassle-free skate rentals, sharpening on demand, and a warm welcome for families, first-timers, and regulars alike.
