Tips & Advice

  • Wrap up warmly because the Christmas porridge is served outdoors, outside Veräjälaakso School rather than inside the building.
  • Head to Otto Brandtin tie 13 and look for the gathering outside the school, since the event is outdoors.
  • Arrive during the advertised 2–4 p.m. event window so you can join the shared meal while it is taking place.
  • Bring children along if relevant; Veräjälaakso afternoon-club attendees and other schoolchildren are welcome to share the free porridge.
  • No food payment is needed, as the porridge is free; dress for the weather and enjoy a simple communal meal.
