Kannonnokka hosts company parties, meetings, recreation days and weddings for groups of up to 100 guests on a private estate above the Porvoo river, in Porvoo, Finland. The covered terrace takes the largest groups, while a fireplace lodge and a lodge hut suit smaller meetings and evenings. A sauna carved partly into the rock is part of most programs.
Seminars and company events
Meetings at Kannonnokka run for one group at a time, so a team works without other guests on the grounds. Wi-Fi is available, and the fireplace lodge has a screen for presentations. Breakfast, lunch and afternoon coffee can be delivered to match the length of the day. Between sessions, participants step outside into the surrounding nature.
The estate also builds the content of a recreation or team day. The official site lists relaxation sessions, horse activities, puzzle games and physical activities, and short inspirational talks or longer workshops given by partner trainers. Programs can be adapted to a goal such as stress relief, team building or learning a new skill.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, birthdays, family celebrations and company parties are all hosted. The large roofed terrace, the Pärekori, is the main party space from spring to autumn and looks over the Porvoo river valley. The team helps with planning, activities, program, decoration, and can arrange a photographer, a make-up artist or a hairdresser through its partner network. An event can be run independently by the hosts or on a turnkey basis.
Rooms and capacities
The estate has four spaces that organisers use. The Pärekori terrace holds up to 100 people and works best for parties of about 80. The fireplace lodge at the Kallionkolo sauna holds up to 16 people for meetings, evenings or a small celebration. The Kannonnokka lodge hut, a multipurpose space with an open fire, takes about 20 people. The Kallionkolo sauna itself, partly carved into the rock, runs at around 60 degrees and has a terrace with a hot tub and a cold plunge on the edge of the cliff. A yurt sauna was added in winter 2025.
Accommodation
The official site does not describe bedrooms or overnight stays on the estate. Organisers who need lodging for a longer program should ask the team what is available nearby.
Catering
Food and drinks are part of the offer, and the site describes breakfast, lunch and afternoon coffee for meeting days. Menus and service for larger parties are agreed with the team when planning the event.
History and setting
Kannonnokka was founded in 2005 on the banks of the Porvoo river and has produced experiences and events there since. The site is in Grottabackantie, in the Porvoo area of southern Finland. The grounds are green and quiet, with a sauna culture at the center of many visits, and the venue also opens public sauna sessions on selected dates.
Getting there
The estate is at Grottabackantie 57, 06500 Porvoo. The official site gives no transport details, so organisers should confirm access, parking and transfers for groups when they send a request.
