Accessibility
The route between the buildings crosses gravel paths on the manor grounds, and weather can affect their condition. The museum’s accessible entrance is to the right of the main entrance and uses a doorbell, lift and wheelchair platform lift; the first floor is accessible, but the second floor is reached only by stairs. Both buildings have an accessible toilet. Accessible parking is available on the manor grounds, including one space beside Pyykkitupa.

Practical notes
The programme starts in the manor museum’s main building and continues at nearby Pyykkitupa, so participants move between two buildings during the event. Dietary restrictions and allergies can be accommodated.
Booking notes
Advance booking is required. Places are limited, so check current availability on the booking page.
Age notes
The recommended age is 7 and over. Grandparents and other older adults are especially welcome with their grandchildren, but the event is open to everyone.
