Venue Bojiště
The area is named after the fierce battle in the Prussian-Austrian war that took place here on June 27, 1866. There is no more fighting here today. On the contrary, it is a place of culture, entertainment and good fun. During the year, especially in summer months, many concerts, performances and festivals are organized here. Movies screened in the open air have a wonderful atmosphere, not only in summer but also in winter.
Festivals may be the right reason for you to come to Trutnov for the whole weekend. An individual concert or film can pleasantly diversify one of the evenings.
Summer and winter cinema
This is one of the last cinemas in the Czech Republic still screening the original 35mm film stock. The cinema program is dominated by iconic movies from 20th century, either foreign or domestic productions. Hard to describe the amazing experience watching movies on one of the largest outdoor screens in the country (diagonally almost 30 m), in a quiet and pleasant outdoor environment.
It is open in any weather from May to September, every Saturday. The performance starts at sundown (20.00 - 21.15).
Every season, the program also shows children’s films on Fridays (late August and mid-September).
A rare event are Advent film showings in the open air within the "winter" cinema, which before Christmas holidays provide an ideal opportunity for social gatherings in real winter atmosphere.
Parking and camping fee are free, snacks are available.
Blankets are free of charge.
