STONE WALL CONSTRUCTION FOR THE BREWERY

A volunteer event at the brewery? Why not! 
On the border of the Křivoklát region and the Pilsen region, a group of friends restored a dilapidated baroque brewery with the help of hundreds of volunteers from all over the world. Today, it employs people with mental and physical disabilities, participates in the biggest beer competitions and the Propolis association is building around it a pleasant place and a centre of culture, arts and crafts. 

Join us in building a stone wall and discover a unique project to restore the monument and return it to its original purpose.

WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO

Physically demanding manual labour awaits - building stone walls that will create terraced beds for the pupils of a local small school to learn how to grow herbs and vegetables. The work is for boys and girls who want to stretch their muscles in the fresh air and enjoy a bitter, dewy reward straight from the source.

You don't need any previous experience or skills to get involved - this event is open to anyone who is keen to put their hand to work!

ACCOMPANYING PROGRAMME

The weekend won't just be about the work. You can look forward to a tour of the brewery and a visit to the unique Museum of Everyday Life. If you have any energy left, you can take a trip around the beautiful surroundings.
