Tips & Advice

  • Park at Keinuparkki, about 300 m from the Verkatehdas main door, because spaces right in front of the building are limited during events.
  • Take the local bus if you can: the Terveyskeskus stops on Viipurintie and the Pikkujärvi stops on Keinusaarentie are closest to Verkatehdas.
  • Pull up the exhibitor list and map on your phone before you arrive, so you know which stalls to head for first.
  • Groups of more than ten can reserve a table at the Verkatehdas restaurant, while smaller parties drop in for lunch or the café.
  • Follow the market on Facebook for exhibitor and program news, as the program comes out two weeks before the market.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New this year: more space, with the new Werkki hall now in use
