'56 in the countryside
When we talk about 1956, the focus is usually on the events in Budapest, yet the ‘revolution in the country’ deserves at least as much attention as that in the capital.
’56 in the Countryside – 23 October 2026
Join us in commemorating the ‘revolutionary of the countryside’ on the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Revolution!
The events of the revolution in the countryside will come to life within the grounds of the Skanzen, whilst period stories, games and craft activities will bring the past to life. A day where history becomes an experience – for all ages.
Full programme coming soon.
