HIPPALOT – Arts Festival for Children
Verkatehdas Arts & Congress Center,
Hämeenlinna

28th-31st July 2011

This children’s art festival Hippalot has grown into a veritable cornucopia of drama, workshops, exhibitions, dance, music, films and circus. In addition, the festival has a different theme every year which is noticeable in the whole programme. The 2011 theme is LIGHT.

The festival has offered unforgettable moments for children and their families since 1978. Festival takes place in Arx Arts Centre and Verkatehdas Arts & Congress Centre, both situated in the heart of Hämeenlinna.

If you have any questions considering our festival, do not hesitate to ask! Our English-speaking staff is more than happy to help you.

For international guests we do recommend e.g.


Batida (DK): Spaghetti

’Spaghetti makes you high,’ the two long ones say. And then they cook spaghetti like nothing else. Their neighbour, who does not reach to any great hight, but is a short, rotund red-head, would like to join in the feast. Hmmm!!
Spaghetti is a charming, heart-warming story about irreconcilable opposites, which manage to come together despite everything.
If there is music in this small treasure? — Lots! and three glorious actors providing it themselves.

Spaghetti is performed in English.
