Clubs
Kahviklubi - Coffee Club
Coffee Club starting on August 20, 2025
Kahviklubi (Coffee Club) is for everyone, whether you're a local Finn or new to Oulu! Join us every Wednesday from 14:00 to 16:00 at Villa Victor’s Akvaario ("Aquarium") space. It’s a welcoming and relaxed environment where you can meet people from different backgrounds, play board games, try your hand at watercolor painting, watch movies, and more.
Each week, we switch up the themes, so there's always something new to enjoy! It’s the perfect place to practice your Finnish, but if you already speak it, it's a great chance to relax, have fun, and meet new friends—Finnish or international!
No need to register - just come by, grab a coffee, and join the fun!
