Knižní lázně

The Book Spa Festival is a gathering of small publishers and booksellers with readers in the heart of the beautiful town of Mariánské Lázně. It showcases current book production worth following, promotes reading, and offers numerous inspiring events for both children and adults, such as author readings, discussions, creative workshops, meetings with authors, children's competitions, musical concerts, and more. One of the main themes the Book Spa focuses on is mental health and well-being. The festival organizes a Reading Retreat, which provides selected participants from the general public with a free spa stay, a residency program for writers, and a Summer Writing School for aspiring authors.
