Venues

Kulttuurikellari

Olavinkatu 34, Savonlinna

Kulttuurikellari's restaurant upstairs is completely accessible and is located by the main entrance. The seminar is held upstairs. Upstairs also has an accessible toilet. Kulttuurikellari is in two floors with steps. Therefore, we can't guarantee fully accessible passage to all areas. You can access downstairs, where the screenings are held,  through the courtyard assisted through few steps.

This cosy and welcoming venue has an accessible street-level bar-cafe and downstairs there's the elegant main hall that can seat up to 220 people. The venue has previously worked as a film theatre and it suits well for nature film screenings. Upstairs at the street-level we host the discussions and art exhibitions. Aligned with the current restrictions, the capacity at downstairs is 80 seats (subject to changes).

The Savonlinna museum and Lake Saimaa nature centre building is accessible, and the museum has one disabled parking spot. The museum boats are not accessible for customers with a wheelchair. Movie picnic is held in the Riihisaari courtyard by accessible pavement. The yard is partly rocky.
