Karhupuisto-Brahenkenttä

Karhupuisto and Brahenkenttä can be opened up into one space seating up to 156 people, or divided into two separate rooms, depending on your needs. Karhupuisto and Brahenkenttä form a bright and modern space refurbished in summer 2022. It is suitable for seminars, training events, meetings and workshops. You can also extend the space into the adjoining Hakaniementori.

The space offers views over Eläintarhanlahti bay and Paasipuisto park. The spacious foyer is ideal for event catering and small-scale exhibitions. With its visual references to the surrounding district of Kallio, the Kallio group of spaces provides a unique setting for various special events.

Right in the centre of Kallio you will find Karhupuisto, ”Bear Park”. It is flanked by Kallio Library, a fire station and several good restaurants. But how did Bear Park get its name? And what was it originally called?

The Kallio group of spaces

The eastern historic working-class city district of Kallio is known for its special ambience. The varied and colourful history of Kallio has served as the inspiration for the design of the Kallio conference rooms at Paasitorni, consisting of meeting rooms Karhupuisto, Brahenkenttä, and Hakaniementori, and the adjoining foyer. Paying tribute to the history of the district and people of Kallio is the permanent exhibition of the noted street photographer Kasperi Kropsu, whose work parallels that of Henri Cartier-Bresson. The light and metal tube installations referencing Kallio and its iconic landmarks bring added character to the space.
