Palóc Lovaspark

Palóc Lovaspark is an equestrian park on Major út in Nógrádgárdony, near Csitár in northern Hungary. Its event house with a dance floor takes up to 150 guests for weddings. Companies can build a team-building day from horse and electric quad programs, with a lemonade and snack bar and a welcome menu on the retro terrace.

Seminars and company events The park lists company events and team building among its main services. A team day is assembled from the programs on offer, and the price is set for each request according to the chosen activities and the group size. Send the date, the number of participants and the activities you want.

Activities include guided riding, trail riding, carriage rides and electric quad tours. A guide leads quad tours with at most five quads. A fenced paddock is available for electric quads with no limit on participants. Carriages seat up to seven people. Horse-drawn carriage rides can be booked as an experience, with a marathon carriage that passes through obstacles and carries two people per run.

The retro terrace works as the welcome area, with a lemonade bar, a snack bar and a food selection for guests. All programs run at agreed times, so booking a slot is required.

Weddings and receptions The wedding offer rests on the setting. Guests arrive on the retro terrace for a welcome drink, the civil ceremony can take place outdoors in the shade of trees, and the couple can ride in by horse-drawn carriage or have photographs taken with horses. The event house, with a dance floor, holds 150 guests. Decoration is made by the park's own team.

Couples choose between a traditional wedding menu and a barbecue street-food menu. Accommodation is available on site and nearby for a defined number of guests. The wedding and event organizer on the team handles scheduling, details, quotes and the running of the day, and helps with floral decoration.

History and setting The farm area is Gárdony, a former village. Its name appears in documents from 1327 alongside the first mention of Csitár. In a 1559 Ottoman register it was still a village with five named heads of household, and by 1570 it had become an uninhabited farm area. In the 18th century the Szentiványi family took over the estate and employed growing numbers of farm servants. The owner has driven carriages since the age of 17 and leads the park's riding and carriage programs.

Getting there The address is Major út 1, Nógrádgárdony, 2673 Csitár. Programs and events run on agreed dates, so contact the team before traveling.
