Info

Getting to concerts

We recommend you to come to concerts by public transport, on foot or by bike. There are some beautiful and handy pedestrian routes along the nearby river. The info for each concert has a link to a route guide showing you the easiest way to get to the concert and back. There is also some free parking for concerts in and around the Church of St Lawrence.

Photography, Audio Recording, and Videography

Photographers from Vantaan Fotokerho will capture the most stunning moments of the concerts, and the photos are updated on the festival's Instagram and Facebook accounts during the event. Unauthorized recording of any kind during the performances is prohibited.

Photography in the church and the yard area before and after concerts is allowed and encouraged. You can also take photos inside the church before the concert starts and during the final applause, except for those concerts recorded by YLE. We hope you share your experiences on social media with the hashtags #brqvantaa, #brqvantaafestival, and #tapahtumienvantaa.

Concert Refreshments

The café at the BRQ Vantaa Festival at St. Lawrence Church is organized this year by the Sire team of 8-10-year-old competitive group gymnasts from Rekolan Raikas. Come and enjoy before the concert or during intermissions and support the local community! Kahvitupa Laurentius is also nearby.

Lauran Kaffila serves refreshments at Tikkurila Church, check out their Facebook page for opening hours. Café Silkki in Theater Vantaa is not open on Monday the 12th of August.

Equality and accessibility

Our aim is to ensure that all our concert visitors have an equal chance to enjoy what we have to offer. Each year we also put on such free events as Take a Break concerts. Students, pensioners, servicemen, the unemployed and children under the age of 18 are eligible for tickets at reduced prices, and there is free admission for personal assistants accompanying disabled persons.

The Churches of St Lawrence and Tikkurila as well as Theatre Vantaa are accessible by wheelchair. There are also disabled (“Inva”) toilets.
