Just a few minutes from the bustle of Békéscsaba, the Csabai Rendezvénypajta is where food, folk, and fun meet. The complex is part gastronomy hub, part cultural and tradition-keeping center, and part community magnet. It’s the home turf for everything Csabai: showcasing the legendary Csabai sausage and local products, hosting hands-on food adventures, cozy family celebrations, weddings, festivals, friendly get-togethers, and corporate events. Find it at 5600 Békéscsaba, Gyulai út 65/1.
Real Ice, Real Vibes
From December 22 to 28, and again from December 29 to January 4, the barn rolls out a covered, 600 m2 real-ice rink on Gyulai út. That’s about 6,458 square feet of honest-to-goodness ice where you can skate free and easy in a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. No skates? No problem. The rink rents out sizes for everyone and even offers sharpening on the spot. Get the parents, text the crew, and hit the real ice.
The rink keeps the blades spinning in 2026 too: January 5–11, January 12–18, January 19–25, January 26–February 1, February 2–8, February 9–15, February 16–22, February 23–March 1, March 2–8, and March 9–15. Same setup, same big ice, same easygoing vibes in Békéscsaba.
Learn to Glide: Free Kids’ Skating School
On Saturday, December 27, the tiniest skaters get their turn. The rink hosts a free skating school every Saturday from 9:15 to 10:15 for ages 5–9. It pops back up on Saturday, January 3, with the same schedule. It’s the perfect hour for little legs to build balance, confidence, and a love for the ice—without the price tag.
Sunday Skating Lessons for 10+
Bigger kids and beginners aged 10 and up can join group lessons every Sunday, 9:15–10:15. Mark December 28 and January 4 for winter-break sessions in Békéscsaba. The format is straightforward: an hour on real ice with coaching that keeps things fun, safe, and moving.
Csabai Sausage Adventure: Make It, Take It
From December 22 to 31, taste real Csabai sausage (Csabai kolbász) and roll up your sleeves to craft your own. The Csabai Kolbászkaland is for anyone who loves hearty flavors and culinary adventures. You season, stuff, and twist, then take your handcrafted sausage home as the ultimate edible souvenir. Booking required—lock in your time slot and soak up an irresistible flavor trip before the year ends.
Warm Bread, Warm Hearts: Sourdough Workshop
On Sunday, January 11, Péknéni’s Sourdough Bread Workshop invites you to surprise yourself—or someone you love—with an aromatic experience. Freshly baked sourdough has no equal, and this cozy class is all about learning, kneading, and enjoying that first crackling loaf. Expect a warm welcome in Békéscsaba and a kitchen that smells like heaven.
Easter Moves: Brandnyúl Minidisco
Good Friday, April 3, gets loud and bouncy with the Brandnyúl Minidisco at the Csabai Rendezvénypajta. It’s pure party—no sitting around—just dancing, laughs, and all-out fun to the biggest Brandnyúl hits. Kids go wild, adults join in, and the whole barn shakes in the best possible way.
Why This Barn Works
The beauty of the Csabai Rendezvénypajta is its mix: authentic flavors and hands-on food experiences, an all-winter ice rink that actually feels like winter, and community-first programs that bring every generation under one roof. It’s the kind of place where you can skate in the morning, learn a family recipe in the afternoon, and return at night for a party or a wedding. The venue sits away from the city’s rush, so celebrations feel intimate—perfect for family milestones, festivals, friendly meetups, or team events.
