Bad weather alternatives

During the Summer Sounds, preludes will take place in the castle courtyard at 6 pm, when the weather is fine.

In case of bad weather, a prelude will take place at 6 pm and a repeat at 7 pm in the state rooms of Grafenegg Castle due to reduced capacity. If the first time slot is not available, you have the possibility to visit the castle for free during the waiting time for the second time slot and to get drinks and snacks at the catering station in the state rooms.

Tickets for the prelude are available in the castle store one hour before the first event.

Unfortunately, due to resource constraints, there is no bad weather option available for categories 7 and 8 (lawn seating) for the evening concert during the Summer Sounds. In the event of bad weather conditions, customers in these categories will be refunded the purchase price in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions (only available in German).
