A con inspired by Middle Ages and The Witcher

9.–12. 4. 2026 in Housův mlýn in Tábor, Czech Republic

Programme

What can you do at Blavicon? Blavicon is something you truly have to experience! It's a place where there's no shortage of planned activities, but sometimes the best moments are those you create yourself. Those small, spontaneous moments often become the strongest memories.

What you can experience during the weekend

Lectures and Workshops

We’ve prepared interactive lectures and workshops for both beginners and advanced attendees. You can experience several dozen of them.

Concerts

There will be 5 concerts every day, so you can enjoy your afternoon, evening, and even night.

Story and Theatre

As part of the storyline, there will be stage scenes, several per day. Enjoy a well-known story in a new way.

Crafts

In the historical encampment on the back meadow, you’ll find various crafts. You’ll see work with metal, leather, or fabric. There are plenty of props you can ask about. There will also be a demonstration of medieval cuisine. Don’t hesitate to ask the local craftsmen anything; they will be happy to show and explain everything. Some of them also sell their own products, so you don’t have to leave empty-handed.

Witcher Contracts and Quests

Throughout the con, various small quests and contracts for Witchers await you. You can stumble upon them completely by chance, or you can actively seek out notice boards and complete as many tasks as possible.

Knowledge, Strength, Sports, and Talent Competitions

Various competitions await you. Some will focus on your knowledge of the Witcher world, others on your strength, agility, or perhaps your creative skills.

Fencing Performances and Knightly Duels

During the festival, you’ll experience several professional fencing performances, but also prepare for a knightly duel you’re sure to remember!

Combat Arena, Archery, and Axe Throwing

Want to try archery or axe throwing? Want to challenge a friend in a LARP arena? Or perhaps you can try your luck and defeat as many opponents in a row as possible.

Show with Birds of Prey and Horses

You’ll also see live animals, specifically birds of prey and horses. This includes a performance with commentary. Additionally, you can take photos with these animals.

Board Game Room and Video Game Room

If you want to take a break from the festival action, you can go play Gwent or a board game. Consoles, computers, and virtual reality will also be available.

Film Screenings

We have selected several film productions for you to see directly during the festival. These are works that are not available in conventional cinemas.

Teahouse and Hookah Lounge

Another option for relaxation will be a teahouse, including a selection of hookahs. Here you can relax quietly all day long.

Beer, Mead, and Whiskey Tastings

If you are interested not only in drinking alcohol but also in learning about it, you might be interested in professional tastings.

Marketplace

There will be no shortage of vendors, so you can choose a souvenir to your liking. Often, the vendor is also the manufacturer, so you have the opportunity to learn a lot of interesting information about what you are buying.

Interesting Guests

We have invited guests from various fields to the festival. Some will give lectures or discussions, others will simply be there. So, it’s possible you might purely by chance run into someone famous without seeing them on the program.
