Gyárkert (Factory'ard) CulturePark

There is a 2-hectare fenced area in the middle of downtown Veszprém, where the grass doesn't grow, and which we have been avoiding for so long that we forget to grumble and wonder about it. And we have a year in which we would like the citizens of Veszprém to be able to create memories that show that, despite all the long-term and conceptual thinking, there was a time when Veszprém could afford to turn its world upside down.

So, with the help of some of Hungary's leading pop-up architects, we've pulled out the magic wand and dreamed up an event venue that, with a capacity of 5,000, 2 stages and dozens of catering units, will be able to accommodate everything that at first glance seems to be about the joy of the moment for half a year, but we believe - and with a bit of luck - that this place can be much more than that. For us, Gyárkert is a place of belonging and shared memories, so the 10 to 12 international headliners, the Hungarian and city favourites are only half of the project; the other half is a showcase of Europe's diversity and the opportunity for international connections. Our dream is to see the above-mentioned hospitality venues run by young people from European cities as outposts of culture for their nations. 

And in winter, Gyárkert becomes a real fairytale world. Children of all ages can try the five-lane snow sledge and the more than 500 sqm ice rink. Add to the atmosphere with hot drinks, roasted chestnuts, chimney cakes and other delicacies.
