What can you do in local living rooms?
Local living rooms are meeting places open to all in the residential areas of Turku.
At local living rooms, you can spend time, have a cup of coffee, meet other residents and take part in a variety of activities.
Organisations, individuals and the city organise hobbies, cultural activities, meetings and regional theme days in the living rooms.
Local living rooms are also home to a variety of groups, and residents of the area can come up with ideas for activities together.
Current activities and events
You can find lectures, activities and events organised in local living rooms on the Turku region's recreation calendar. There are also many other activities organised. Once a week, each living room hosts a neighbourhood coffee break. Check the notice board or ask the counsellor about what's happening in your local living room.
