Old Student House – “Vanha Ylioppilastalo”

The historical Old Student House opened its doors more than 140 years ago and is perhaps the most traditional celebration and events venue in Helsinki. Part of Finnish cultural history, it is located in the heart of the city surrounded by period buildings. The magnificent ballroom and historic music hall creates the perfect backdrop for this spring event.

Secure your place and avoid the queues at the entrance by purchasing your tickets in advance from Ceesta Shop’s online store at a reduced price. Tickets will also be sold at the venue based on availablility.
We use digital tasting tickets as the method of payment for the champagne samples. Costing €2,5 each, the tickets may be purchased at the venue. The price of the tasting samples range from one ticket to six or more depending on the price category of the champagne. The poured portion is 4cl.
MASTER CLASSES
You can also deepen and expand your knowledge by participating in various Master Classes held by both our local experts and our prestigious guests from Champagne. The Master Classes are confined to a limited number of places and hence, should be booked in advance. A separate fee applies for the Master Classes.
