Event cabins and containers

Event cabins and containers are mainly rented for short-term event use. Priority is given to activities organised by the City of Tampere itself and to partners with whom the City has a cooperation agreement. Where possible, the cabins and containers can also be rented for other use that supports the City's strategic objectives and values.

Exceptions are business activities related to entrepreneurial education or studies organised by educational institutions in Tampere.
