The Plum Orchard Sounds continues in August! Admission is free once again.
Summer in our plum orchard is far from over. This August, we have prepared another afternoon full of music, theatre, books, and experiences for the whole family. This month’s programme is designed especially with children in mind, but we believe adults and everyone who enjoys pleasant music in the beautiful surroundings of our orchard will find plenty to enjoy too.
Programme
4:00–5:15 PM | Environmental Workshop
Together with the instructors from ŽiTo v SÝPKE, children will learn through playful, hands-on activities. They can look forward to creating, exploring, and having lots of fun.
5:15–6:00 PM | Vlado Kulíšek and Fortissimo Theatre – King Jester
A popular performance full of humour, music, and interactive entertainment that will delight audiences young and old. With a playful touch, the performance returns to the origins of medieval non-verbal art while using contemporary forms of expression and music. The main character is a jester who chooses “his” king from the audience and involves him and the rest of the spectators in humorous short scenes inspired by the historical setting and atmosphere of the period.
6:00–6:45 PM | Reading with Author Janko Púček
Come and enjoy an author reading of contemporary Slovak literature for children and adults. The programme will also include a playful introduction to the popular children’s magazine Slniečko.
7:00–8:00 PM | Paperboat Duo
The evening will conclude with a concert by a duo that simply belongs in our plum orchard. Paperboat Duo performs popular covers of well-known songs in gentle acoustic arrangements featuring ukulele, guitar, cajón, and other percussion instruments. The perfect soundtrack to a summer evening beneath the trees.
Brunch Sýpka
From 11:00 AM until sold out, you can enjoy our popular Brunch Sýpka, featuring a selection of sweet and savoury dishes, specialty coffee, and homemade treats.
Throughout the Day
Interactive games, a code-breaking treasure hunt in the garden, and the popular garden bingo will be available for all visitors.
Come and enjoy a peaceful summer day among the fruit trees, meet friends, give the kids plenty of memorable experiences, and end the evening with some great music.
We look forward to welcoming you to ŽiTo v SÝPKE!
The Plum Orchard Sounds event is made possible with the support of Trenčín 2026 – European Capital of Culture and the Trenčín Self-Governing Region.
