Instructions for event organizers
Welcome to organize an event at Keran Hallit! To ensure that everything goes smoothly, please read through the following instructions carefully.
1. NATURE OF THE EVENTS
Keran Hallit has two indoor event venue (Lähettämö and Konttori) and an outdoor venue (Keran Keidas). These venues can be used for both free and paid events. Private events, such as birthday parties, are also possible. Considering free events, larger events that have program for several hours are prioritized.
2. TIME AND DATE
Free events can be organized mainly on Fridays and Saturdays between 12 PM and 10 PM, but other time slots are also negotiable. Paid and/or private events can also be organized at other times and they can continue longer than 10 PM.
3. RENT
Events that are open and free to all and end by 10 PM are also free to organize. Kera-kollektiivi charges a rent from events that
- have an entrance fee
- are private

In case of bad weather, events planned for the outdoor space can also be moved indoors, if the indoor spaces are vacant at the moment.

Konttori has a limited amount of furniture (approximately 50 chairs and a couple of tables) and a refrigerator that can be used by the event organized.
