Learning Sessions and Workshops

The Centre for Polish Folklore runs learning sessions and workshops throughout the year, which are held in the palace or in its grounds. The permanent exhibition and collections provide a point of entry into discussions about traditional culture, the Polish national dances, folk music and traditional instruments, the history of folk dance, regional dress and the work of Mazowsze Song and Dance Ensemble.

The duration and cost of sessions depend on their length and the nature of the event. Visit the What's On section of our website to find out about upcoming events and to book your place on one of our workshops.

The Centre for Polish Folklore organises meetings with folk artists and artisans, members of Mazowsze Song and Dance Ensemble and regional folk bands and musicians.
