A warm welcome to Cinema Orion. We hope to provide you with a rewarding and enjoyable event!
CHOOSING THE FILM
You can choose the film from our current programme or from our catalogue: https://cinemaorion.fi/elke-levitys/The film distributor decides on the availability and pricing of the film, which means we cannot always guarantee that a film will be available. Please inform us of your film request as soon as possible, as the film’s length also determines the duration of the rental period to be booked.
THE DURATION OF THE CINEMA HIRE
Private events can be organized mainly from Monday to Thursday, or on weekend before 14 o'clock.
Please take into account that the hire time includes the time you need for pre preparations AND the cleaning in the end of your eventThis means that you can access the space to prepare for your event only when the rental period begins. Final cleaning must also be completed before the end of the rental period.
CATERING
Cinema Orion does not have its own catering service. You can request a quote from our partner suppliers, or you are welcome to choose your preferred catering provider or bring your own refreshments. Please note that catering providers typically require about 45–60 minutes to set up the service, and this time must be included in the rental period. Catering services do not handle final cleaning unless specifically agreed upon. Due to the theatre’s limited storage space, we unfortunately do not provide serving dishes, so you will need to bring any necessary serving ware. We also do not provide refrigeration, except by prior arrangement. A water point is available in a separate hand-washing room connected to the restroom for public use.
We have a selection of beverages and sweets sold at the box office.
EVENT
If you have a food/drink serving, we recommend you do that in the beginning of your event before the screening, unless your event is the last one of the evening, in which case you can also have your serving after the screening.
SPACE
Our lobby area can fit approximately 60 people standing (less if you have catering tables in use) and our cinema hall has seats for 214 people. The host of the private event is responsible for the event and the suitable amount of people. However, Cinema Orion follows the recommendations of Regional State Administrative Agency for Southern Finland and we may have to limit the amount of people in our cinema due to that. We have two toilets in use for guests.
EQUIPMENT
We have six two-seat sofas in our lobby and in addition eight stools available. For tables we have three 130cm x 70cm x 72cm sized tables and four smaller round tables which are suitable for use with the sofas and stools in the lobby.
FINAL CLEANUP
We hope that you leave the cinema in the condition in which it was before your private event. The final cleanup includes recycling the trash and empty bottles in the bins of the cinema hall, tidying the tables and cleaning up other surfaces if needed. We can provide the equipment for the cleanup. You can also buy the final cleanup service from us for the price of 100€ + VAT.
