• All of Tampere Hall’s conference facilities and public areas are wheelchair accessible. There are threshold ramps in all doorways, and the entrances have automatic doors. Corridors and doorways are wide, and the end of handrails on stairs is indicated by a tactile marker on the last step.
• There are three auditoriums: the Main Auditorium, the Small Auditorium and Maestro. They have designated spaces for wheelchair users and their personal assistants. Other conference facilities have level floors. Main Auditorium and the Small Auditorium are equipped with induction loop technology.
• There is a lift in the entrance hall that you can use to access all floors of the building and Restaurant Tuhto. There is also a lift at the other end of the main lobby, which takes you to other floors. The Sopraano room, located on the second floor, is accessible by elevator from the lobby of the room. In the elevators, there is braille on the floor indicators to make the use of the elevators as easy and smooth as possible for our visually impaired visitors.
• Tampere Hall has disabled toilets on the first floor, on the ground floor (accessible by a lift) and in the Duetto foyer on floor 2B. Additionally, there are contrasting colours on the door frames of the restroom facilities’ entrances, aiding in their detection amidst light-coloured walls.
• There are clearly marked disabled parking bays right by the entrance. Traffic signs indicate a 15-minute parking space in front of Tampere Hall for customers visiting the ticket office and shop. Please note that Tampere Hall’s multi-storey car park (P-Tampere-talo) has several flights of stairs. Only the first floor has disabled access.

Tampere Conservatory, Pyynikkisali (Pyynikki Hall)

F. E. Sillanpään katu 9

The conservatory building is not accessible. Visually impaired people and wheelchair users cannot move around the premises independently, as the building has thresholds, several staircases and heavy doors (handrails are inadequate). However, the Pyynikkisali is accessible by lift with the assistance of a janitor and has space for a couple of wheelchairs. There is a toilet for disabled people in the back of the building, which can be accessed by the same lift as the Pyynikkisali, if necessary.

Tavara-asema

Ratapihankatu 33

Guests with mobility aids can easily attend Tavara-asema events. The entrance, cloakroom, and the entire main floor are accessible. An accessible drop-off and pick-up traffic is directed via Murtokatu.

In standing-room concerts, guests with mobility restrictions and their assistants have a designated viewing area near the stage on the left side of the venue, where our staff can help them if needed. If the customer needs time to reach the viewing area, it is possible to enter the venue before the start of the event. Please contact us in advance by email at: tavara-asema(at)kulttuurikamari.fi.

In most cases, personal assistants can accompany their clients to our events without a separate assistant ticket. If necessary, we will ask to verify the need for a personal assistant, for example with an EU Disability Card bearing the symbol A.
