Spend quality time in Taideniitty on holiday or business trip
Stay the night, enjoy a cup of coffee at the Fifty-Fifty waffle café, check out the art exhibitions, relax in the outdoor sauna, and much more!
Fifty-Fifty Waffle Café
The Fifty-Fifty Waffle Café is opening its doors once again in Old Varkaus, for its seventh summer.
This summer, the café is hosting a photography exhibition by the Varkaus Camera Club.
Come spend a summer day in a garden setting, enjoying waffles, live music, and culture!
During the summer, the café will be staffed by young people from Taideniitty and students, and as always, you can expect a relaxed atmosphere, bubble waffles, art, and music.
For the second summer in a row, the café will also be licensed to serve alcohol. In the spirit of the summer jazz program, the bar area goes by the name Jazz Bar, but you’re sure to hear other kinds of music throughout the summer as well.
The café staff also includes performing musicians, so perhaps we’ll see and hear some surprises from that side of things as well while the waffles are baking.

Drum relaxation and drum circles
Are you looking for a relaxing experience for your whole body and mind?
Drumming retreats with soundscapes for small groups are organised by the in-house Taikalaakso Shamandrumsfinland
In a drumming retreat, the gentle sound of the body drums relaxes you and you can fall into the touch of sound without any performance or demands.
The low-frequency sound resonates throughout the body, nurturing and providing an experiential experience at the same time. Drum retreats and drum circles can take place indoors or outdoors at TiiPi.
