Põhjala tehas

Pohjala tehas is a distinctive industrial complex in Tallinn's Kopli district, occupying the grounds of a former rubber factory. Original factory architecture, large hangars, high ceilings and open courtyards give the site a strong industrial identity, while its transformation into a creative and cultural hub makes it suitable for concerts, festivals, fairs, conferences and other events. The largest hangar covers more than 1,100 m² and, depending on the event layout, can accommodate up to approximately 1,200 visitors.

The interiors preserve the raw character of the former factory, with expansive open spaces and the resonant acoustics typical of industrial halls. Different areas of the complex can be adapted to both intimate and large-scale productions, while creative studios, galleries, cafés, bars, restaurants and bakeries add to the visitor experience. This combination of historic industrial surroundings and contemporary amenities gives Pohjala tehas a noticeably different atmosphere from a conventional concert hall or arena.

The complex is located at Marati tn 5, Tallinn, Estonia. The Marati public transport stop is only a few minutes' walk from the entrance, while visitors arriving by car can use parking areas serving the complex, including the Marati 5/2 area.

Tallinn, an elegant Baltic capital by the coast, stands out as one of the most appealing destinations for top-tier entertainment and major events. The blend of a medieval core and the city’s modern pulse creates an atmosphere where concert and sports experiences flow naturally into walks, dinners, and seaside relaxation. Visitors often appreciate how compact the center is, making it easy to plan a day without rushing and with plenty to enjoy.

A major advantage is the city’s practical infrastructure and clear transport logic. The public network includes buses, trams, and trolleybuses, operated by Tallinna Linnatranspordi (TLT), so getting to arenas and stadiums is straightforward and stress-free. If you arrive by air at Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, the city center is quickly reached by public transport or taxi, while traveling by train brings you to Balti jaam, the main railway station right by the edge of the Old Town. For coach arrivals, Tallinna bussijaam is the primary long-distance bus station, making Tallinn easy to access from many directions.

Before or after the event, the city’s “bonus” is strong: Vanalinn (the Old Town) charms with narrow streets, viewpoints, and historic facades, and Raekoja plats is a natural spot for coffee or a short break. For a change of pace, stroll toward the waterfront and marinas, or switch to a greener mood in Kadriorg with its park and palace. If you’re after a more modern vibe, creative districts with local bars offer a great prelude to the evening, turning an event in Tallinn into a complete city night out.
