Event Venue Werkki for Versatile Events
The new event venue Werkki is now open
The new 600 m² event venue Werkki complements Verkatehdas’s highly praised range of services. The versatile Werkki is suitable for a wide variety of events, such as meetings, seminars, trade fairs, exhibitions, dinners, and performances. Werkki also offers the largest flat-floor space in central Hämeenlinna. Pleasant directional acoustics and modern, high-grade lighting technology turn the rustic space into a modern and comfortable venue.
Large windows offer a view of Verkatehdas’s historic factory quarter. Abundant natural light makes the space airy and inviting for daytime events, yet it easily transforms into anything from banquet setups to impressive full-scale event productions. The windows can be covered when needed, allowing lighting to create an entirely new atmosphere based on the nature of the event—even in the middle of a sunny day. Versatile lighting technology enables striking color and ambient setups for corporate functions, celebrations, and cultural events alike.
Together with Verkatehdas’s professionals, you can execute smooth events ranging from seminars to trade fairs. Werkki also provides a fantastic opportunity to pair your event with the rest of the precinct’s cultural offerings. What could be easier than hosting a celebration at Werkki and moving straight to a concert, theater play, or musical right after — all of this is possible in Verkatehdas’s cultural quarter!



Smooth access to the venue
Accessibility for the public is effortless: access is available from Verkatehtaankuja, the Glass Atrium, and directly from the 2nd-floor foyer. The space also features accessible, barrier-free entry.
Werkki has its own loading dock, which facilitates event setup and teardown, particularly for trade fairs, exhibitions, and large productions. Smooth access routes allow furniture, equipment, and exhibition stands to be brought straight into the space quickly, saving time and making event production hassle-free for both organizers and partners.
