Accessibility
Malmitalo's main entrance and lobby are accessible, indoor public areas can be used by wheelchair users and the second floor is reachable by lift. Public toilets are in the lobby, with accessible toilets in the main lobby and on the second-floor classroom corridor. Because the event also spreads onto the square, weather, crowds and exact activity locations may affect moving with prams or mobility aids.
