Use permit for outdoor areas

The land and water areas of Suomenlinna belong to the state and are administered by the Governing Body of Suomenlinna, operating under the Ministry of Education and Culture. In order to preserve the fortress and the sensitive nature under the protection of UNESCO, the restrictions in Suomenlinna are stricter than in other areas of Helsinki.

Suomenlinna is managed following the high-quality standards required from a world heritage site. Events organised outdoors must respect these principles and must not disturb the peace of residents and visitors nor harm the nature on the islands. Events and functions may not be organised and canopies, structures or task points may not be erected in Suomenlinna without the landowner’s permission. You can apply for a use permit for outdoor areas with the form below if the activity is connected to a rented conference or banquet facility. The conference and banquet facilities sales service will issue the permit in writing. The permit should be applied for at least one month before the planned event. For more information and instructions, please contact the sales service.
