Free Family Friendly Programmes Aplenty at 'Palace of Arts' this Sunday
The regular 'Müpa Junior' Sunday programme will grow to enormous dimensions on Sunday for Children's Day. With music and stories on three stages, both inside the iconic Budapest building and outside in the open air, there is a long list of creative and musical activities on offer for free.

All children and 'children at heart' are welcome who are looking to spend an active day with meaningful programmes, instead of the usual fare on Childrens Day in Hungary of cotton candy floss and amusement park rides - say the organisers.
