Lesnicki Castle night readings open on 12 October at Zamku Leśnicki, offering evening stories in the castle basement. The free sessions target children aged 5–9 and require no prior registration.
Lesnicki Castle night readings: what happens at the event
The first session starts on Monday 12 October at 18:00. Organisers schedule further meetings, with one listed on 9 November. Staff from OPT Zamek and invited guests will read selected children’s books. They will pair readings with castle curiosities, small surprises and short tasks tied to the stories. The setting in the underground rooms aims to create a special atmosphere. Each session will last a modest time, suitable for young attention spans.
Activities, the new Young Explorer Club and prizes
The programme mixes storytelling with light interactive elements. Children can solve simple tasks that relate to the castle or to motifs in the books. This season introduces the Zamkowy Klub Młodego Odkrywcy, the Young Explorer Club. Each child gets a small booklet to collect stamps at successive meetings. The most persistent young explorers can earn tangible prizes. Booklets become available in October at the OPT Zamek reception.
Practical details for visitors
Meet in room 413 in the castle basements at OPT Zamek, pl. Świętojański 1. Sessions begin at 18:00. Admission stays free. No sign-up or advance booking is required. The events suit children aged five to nine. Arrive a little early to find the meeting room and settle in. The enclosed basement location can be cooler than street level, so dress children appropriately.
These readings give families an easy alternative to screen time. They also provide a first-hand way to explore a local landmark. For expats, they offer a low-cost cultural entry into city life and a way for children to hear Polish stories in a communal setting.
