Nukarin Pirtti is a village hall in Nukari, Finland, that organisers can rent for meetings, daytime events, family celebrations and weddings. The main hall takes up to 120 people, or about 70 seated at tables, and has a stage with curtains. A café room and an equipped kitchen sit next to it. The building has hosted gatherings since 1935 and belongs to the local sports club, Nukarin Haka ry.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists meetings among its uses, and it says the main hall suits lectures as well as concerts and dances. The stage with curtains gives a speaker or a panel a defined place at the front. A daytime rental is sold for meetings and day events, so a half-day workshop or an association assembly can be booked without paying for a full weekend. The site does not describe projectors, screens or a sound system, so ask what is available before you plan a presentation. The venue is a plain village hall, and it suits groups that want a simple room and a kitchen rather than a conference centre.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are named on the site as a main use for the large hall. Three rental periods exist: one day, 24 hours for a single event, and a full weekend from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. The weekend option is the one the venue gives as the example for a wedding, which leaves time to set up on Friday and clear on Sunday. For a seated dinner the hall holds about 70 guests, and for a reception with dancing or standing guests it holds up to 120. The stage can be used for a band, a speech or a ceremony.
Rooms and capacities
The Iso Juhlasali is the large hall: 120 people in total, about 70 at tables. The Kahvio ja keittiö is a café room with traditional tables for about 20 people, linked to the kitchen. Outside the rooms, the building has a spacious entrance hall, indoor toilets, traditional outdoor toilets, a large car park that is free to use and a flagpole for ceremonial flag raising.
Catering
The kitchen is equipped with a convection oven, refrigerators, an industrial dishwasher and a large coffee maker that makes 80 cups. Crockery is available for 100 people. The site describes the equipment and does not mention an in-house catering service, so plan on bringing your own caterer or cooking yourselves, and confirm this with the venue.
History and setting
The hall is run by Nukarin Haka, a village sports club founded in 1931 that organises cross-country runs and ski races for children and sports sessions for adults. Between 2024 and 2025 the building went through a renovation that added modern air-source heat pumps, rebuilt the chimneys, improved outdoor and yard lighting and replaced the outside steps. The project received EU rural development funding.
Getting there
The address is Raalantie 817, 05450 Nukari. Parking is on site and free. Bookings and availability questions go to the venue by phone or by e-mail, and the site has an enquiry form.
