Vsetice: Equestrian Sports, Culture and Cuisine

Vsetice brings together equestrian sports, recurring events and seasonal culinary occasions. Statek Všetice is the setting for several events and part of the equestrian infrastructure described here. When planning your trip, it is worth distinguishing between the year-round equestrian training described here and individual dates in the events calendar. Not every occasion automatically means the grounds are open to the public: the entire complex is closed to the public, except for several public events. Before visiting, therefore, check whether the specific event allows access.

Equestrian Training and Riding Facility

Jezdecký klub Všetice offers equestrian training, from getting started in the sport to preparing for competitions in various disciplines. Both school horses and privately owned horses are used. This range makes equestrian sports an important consideration when choosing a destination, without implying that a specific event is taking place.

Statek Všetice also has an indoor riding arena with a sand surface measuring 55 × 21 metres. The club’s training programmes and the described riding facility are distinct points of interest for guests interested in equestrian sports. The restricted public access remains relevant when planning a visit to the grounds, so check entry arrangements for the specific occasion.

Equestrian and Cultural Events

The Memoriál generála Custera is an annual event with an equestrian and Western theme, held in Benešov and Všetice. The 2026 edition took place from 20 to 22 August. Large-scale equestrian manoeuvres and a staged battle reenactment of the Battle of Little Bighorn were scheduled in Všetice for 22 August. The planned programme included cavalry charges, gunfire and an audio story. This information relates to the 2026 edition; it does not describe a permanent show programme.

The Krásný Ztráty Festival has also been held at Statek Všetice for several years. Each year, it brings together different musical styles, genres and generations. The line-up varies from one edition to the next; the location and dates of future editions may also change. If you want to plan your trip around the festival or another event, check the specific dates and access conditions in advance.

Seasonal Culinary Occasions

Statek Všetice holds Zabijačkové hody every February and offers a Svatomartinské menu in November. These are two recurring culinary occasions at different times of the year: either the February event or the November menu can determine your travel dates. Specific dates and access arrangements may vary. Before visiting, therefore, find out about the occasion in question and whether it is open to the public.

The events mentioned take place on different dates and have different access requirements. You can therefore plan your trip around the occasion actually scheduled, without assuming that access to Statek is guaranteed.
