#TIP FOR GROUPS Theatre and history - experience Finnish summer theatre and the Old Town Raahe

Raahe Theatre is housed in an elegant Art Nouveau building originally constructed more than a century ago by The Salvation Army. The “army of peace” continued training soldiers for its cause in Raahe all the way to the 1980s. As early as the 1820s, a touring theatre troupe visiting Raahe had a powerful impact: “It was as if a kind of frenzy took over the townsfolk. Everyone with a pulse simply had to see the theatre performance. It was said that some had even pawned their silverware to pay for the ticket,” one local resident of the time recalls. This excitement sparked a long tradition of theatre enthusiasts in Raahe. Today, plays are performed inside the old protected building in winter and in the building’s courtyard at the heart of Old Raahe in summer.

The theatre and especially the summer theatre performances on the outdoor stage are a wonderful experience regardless of the weather. In Raahe, the unforgettable experience is heightened by the truly unique setting in Old Town Raahe, one of the best-preserved 19th century wooden districts in the entire country. Theatre pieces are performed in Finnish, but  don’t be discouraged from attending a performance at our theatre due to the language barrier – theatre is a universal language after all and watching a show at Raahe Theatre is guaranteed to be a memorable experience. So live like a local and give a try. The day's programme includes a lunch in Raahen Hovi restaurant or at the Trade House of Lang and a guided tour to Raahe on foot or on your bus.
