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.

The Kallio conference rooms

The eastern historic working-class city district of Kallio is known for its special ambience. On the journey through Hakaniemi, Siltasaari, Kallio, Alppila and Vallila, perhaps on the legendary number 3 tram, we witness an urban mosaic of the past and the present: the lively chatter at Kahvisiskot marquee café at the Hakaniementori market, the shouts and whistle blowing during a game of ice-bandy at Brahenkenttä sports ground, the endearing presence of The Bear on the Anthill statue (Jussi Mäntynen, 1931) in Karhupuisto park.

This varied and colourful history of the surrounding district of Kallio has served as the inspiration for the design of the Kallio conference rooms at Paasitorni. 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.
