Lindblom is a hall for conferences, congresses and parties on the grounds of Ruissalon Telakka, a former shipyard setting at Hevoskarintie 23 in Turku, Finland. It takes up to 800 guests at a cocktail reception and up to 400 at seated tables, across 800 m2. The hall is bookable from May to September.
Seminars and company events
The venue describes Lindblom as a meeting and party space where large meetings, congresses and celebrations are possible. Its modern technology lets the organizer adapt the size, equipment and furniture of the room to each event. A company day with a plenary session can use the stage and the audio-visual set-up that come with the hire. A summer party for a whole staff fits the cocktail format of up to 800 people.
The hire includes the whole Lindblom hall and a stage of 6 m by 8 m, one meter high, with basic lighting and a good sound system. It also covers a range of lighting equipment for creating atmosphere, audio-visual equipment for speeches and background music, and professional bar staff for the event. Tables and chairs are supplied for 150 people. Larger groups need extra furniture arranged with the venue.
Weddings and receptions
The official page presents Lindblom as a party hall, and the venue lists private events among the events it hosts, from small gatherings to large productions. It does not publish wedding packages for this hall. A reception or a dinner for 400 people at tables, or a cocktail party for 800, is within the stated capacity. For couples with a small group of up to ten, the venue recommends its classic saloon boat Airawata instead.
Rooms and capacities
Lindblom is one open hall of 800 m2. The stated limits are 800 guests for a cocktail event and 400 guests for a dinner at tables. The venue states 800 as the maximum guest capacity of the hall. A site visit can be arranged, and a 3D model of the space is available on the official page. Other event spaces on the grounds are named Westin, Hättänen, Lentoklubi and Tenlen, which can be combined with Lindblom as the historic buildings can be combined according to the event.
Catering
Catering is not run by the hall itself. Serving services are arranged through the venue's partner. The hall holds serving rights for alcohol, and bringing your own drinks is not allowed. Professional bar staff are part of the hire.
History and setting
The hall was completed in spring 2018. It is named after Jarl Lindblom (1902-1985), the legendary chief designer of the Turku boatyard. The grounds combine a maritime atmosphere with modern services, with restaurants, event spaces and a guest marina open year-round. The venue also keeps a fleet of classic boats and a covered, heated passenger ferry, Aura, which takes up to 180 people and can be added to events when it is not in use elsewhere.
Getting there
The address is Hevoskarintie 23, 20100 Turku. The official site has a separate page with directions, and the venue says a discounted coach can be booked through it for guests. Reservation inquiries go by phone or to the sales address given on the site. The hall is handed back the morning after the event.
