Welcome to enjoy and have fun!
The buildings and courtyard of Vanha-Norri in the middle of the traditional landscape of Forssa and Tammela invite you to indulge in relaxed and delicious moments all year round.
Housed in the old workshop, the Lounge & Café with its cosy, living-room-like feel serves as a relaxed meeting spot from Wednesday to Saturday. It offers the perfect setting to step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, enjoy time together or spend some creative moments.
For the remainder of the year, Restaurant Jolie Vanha-Norri is open only on weekends; at other times it operates as a venue for private bookings.
Opening hours
Restaurant: Saturday and Sunday 11:00-15:00 (Kitchen open until 14:30)
Lounge & Café: Wednesday-Saturday 15:00-21:00
Art exhibition
Tarja Lahti – All Things Beautiful
The exhibition “Moments of Silence” brings together paintings of angels and landscapes. They are united by a sense of gentleness, the tranquillity of nature, and a quiet presence. The angels offer hope and a sense of well-being, while the landscapes invite you to linger in the embrace of nature.
