Our community
Together we are many.
Our cultural space is now ready to receive ideas and energy from the Kimitoön and beyond. All ages and abilities are welcome. Come and talk to us if you would like something to happen here or can arrange something yourself. We can even help you realise your ideas! Our online community forum take place on Discord if you wish to follow remotely. See information below on how to connect. Otherwise, just call, email or drop by for a chat.

You, barista?
Are you interested in running a café in a cool location? You might have already found the perfect place. Currently, we are looking for entrepreneurs to run a seasonal or Pop-Up cafe. We can help you market your events and build a customer base.
Eventually, we need a permanent house café-bistro so, if you are tempted, or know someone suitable, get in touch. Visit us soon and see the opportunity for yourself.
