A rich medieval experience for all generations will begin on May 31 and reach its grand finale on June 6 and 7.
As part of the festivities, we invite visitors to step into a world of brave knights, elegant noble ladies, and playful jesters. Expect thrilling knight tournaments and performances at the castle, a lively craft market at the castle parking area, and the vibrant atmosphere of the medieval camp in the castle park.
AN EXPERIENCE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

At 10 a.m., on the upper castle terrace, you can enjoy a dynamic performance by the medieval group KD IS Vitez Gašperja Lambergarja and guests. Come and experience the Middle Ages in your own way!

Entry to the venues in the castle park and the castle parking area is free, while admission to the castle itself requires a ticket. As a higher number of visitors is expected on this day, we recommend purchasing tickets in advance via the Bled Castle website (www.blejski-grad.mojekarte.si).
Free shuttle transport to the castle will be available from the Blejski grad 2 parking area (Rečiška cesta 2, Bled). Visitors can also reach the castle via marked walking paths.
With the activities in the castle park on June 6 and 7, we are joining the European initiative Rendez-vous aux jardins (“Meet in the Gardens”). Held in more than twenty European countries under this year’s theme Views, the initiative invites visitors to discover the diversity and richness of parks and gardens while highlighting their cultural significance and positive impact on well-being.
