The Prague Planetarium in Stromovka will host a new series of chamber concerts combining live music with projections of the universe from September 2026. Called Niche Nites, the series will feature 10 concerts between September 2026 and June 2027. Each performance will be accompanied by visuals projected across the planetarium’s 22-metre-wide dome, with the imagery responding to the music in real time. The programme will take place on the final weekend of each month. Rather than staging repeated performances, each musician or group will appear at the planetarium only once, giving every concert its own programme and visual design. The series will open on September 25 with cellist Terezie Kovalová, whose work combines classical music with pop, alternative and electronic influences. Other performers confirmed for the programme include guitarist and composer Michal Pavlíček, who will appear with singer Bára Basiková, pianist and composer Beata Hlavenková, and singer-songwriter Lenka Dusilová. Further names will be announced by the organisers in the coming months. Producer and dramaturg Michala Komrsková said the project is intended to present established Czech musicians in a more intimate setting than the large concert halls where they usually perform. The planetarium’s technology will play a central role. Its dome...

Restaurant group Ambiente is preparing to open its 35th establishment, with a second location of its Pult beer concept set to launch in Prague’s Holešovice district in mid-September. The new venue will be located on Tusarova Street and will follow the concept of Pult in Prague 1, which opened in the Celnice building in 2021. While both locations will focus on Czech lager, the new Holešovice branch will introduce a different food concept and its own selection of beers. The original venue serves beers from six breweries, with an emphasis on precise storage, serving and temperature control. A different approach to food Food will be one of the main differences between the two Pult locations. The original Pult in Celnice focuses largely on smaller dishes and snacks. The Holešovice restaurant will instead offer a more substantial menu designed specifically to accompany beer. The menu is expected to focus heavily on Czech beef, including several versions of steak tartare and steaks. Unlike many restaurants where the kitchen closes earlier than the bar, the new Pult plans to serve food until closing at 1 a.m. The restaurant will have space for around 130 guests. Another new destination for Holešovice The opening comes...

For a one-year-old, starting preschool is not about learning letters or sitting through lessons. It is about feeling safe without Mum or Dad nearby, discovering the joy of playing alongside other children, and slowly gaining the confidence to explore the world independently. At Tiny Tots in Prague, these small everyday moments are at the heart of the programme. A favourite toy clutched tightly in one hand. A cautious look back at Mum or Dad from the classroom door. Perhaps a few tears (from either side). For families with children aged one or two, the first experience of leaving a little one in someone else’s care can feel like a very big step. And for the child, it is one too. At this age, development happens through moments that can look almost insignificant to adults: reaching for a spoon without help, joining another child in play, recognising a familiar song, saying a new word, or feeling comfortable enough to wander a little further away from a trusted adult. These are precisely the moments that Tiny Tots, a programme for children aged 1–2 at Nessie English Preschool, part of Park Lane International School, is designed to encourage. Before learning comes feeling safe...
