Information for event organisers

Organise public events throughout the year in the area’s impressive premises, such as Vooninki and Terde, the exhibition space in the old factory, Väinö Linna square or the event locations on the premises of local businesses.

Festival centre at the heart of the city

The atmospheric and funcional Finlayson area meets the requirements of event organisers. The area is visited by multiple festivals, surprising events and cooperation partners throughout the year. The goal is to always take the special requirements of the events into account, and production assistance in matters related to the area is available.

Organise events at various locations in the area simultaneously, close-up and in a unique milieu.
The Finlayson Area has served as the location for movie festivals, modern circus performances and photography and art events, for example. In the Finlayson Area, we welcome inspiring ideas and have the means to carry them out.
