Accessibility at Malmitalo
Malmitalo’s main entrance and lobby are fully accessible. In front of the building, there is an accessible ramp that leads to the door. Doors open automatically when they are approached.
The inside of the building is accessible, and the second floor can be accessed with a spacious lift. All public facilities of Malmintalo are accessible by wheelchair; however, please ask for advice if you wish to go to the Small Auditorium.
There are places for wheelchairs in spectator stands that must be got in advance. The number of spaces is limited. A companion for a wheelchair user is admitted with the same ticket. Assistant tickets for other customers who need support are available on an event-by-event basis.
You can buy wheelchair tickets via the Lippu.fi online store, at Malmitalo’s ticket office, or at any other Lippu.fi full-service sales points.
The noise levels at Malmitalo are monitored during performances. This is done to ensure that the levels stay within the permitted limits. The building managers will provide ear plugs free of charge.
Theatre haze, or ‘smoke’, may be used in Malmitalo performances. The Hazer liquid used is a fine hydrocarbon mineral oil designed to be used with the Phantom Hazer systems. The haze is safe, clean, non-toxic, naturally biodegradable and of good pharmaceutical quality. If you have heightened sensitivity, you may experience some redness in your eyes or skin irritation.
Both auditoriums have an induction loop for people with a hearing disability; there is also a mobile induction loop available to be used in other facilities. Please contact the doormen if you need assistance.
An accessible toilet is located in the main lobby and along the corridor leading to classrooms on the second floor. The doormen will provide further information.
Our front of the house staff are always at your service. You can contact a doorman by phone during the opening hours of the facility, tel. +358 40 3361598.
