Kertsi Youth Centre

Gammelbacka’s youth centre Kertsi is a living room for young people.

Rental of Gammelbacka Youth Facility Will Be Suspended at the End of February

The rental of the youth centres will end at the end of February. Rentals will resume once the temporary facilities in Gammelbacka are completed. The current estimated completion schedule is late summer, but the exact date or month is not yet known.

We will announce the start of bookings later on the City of Porvoo’s website and in the online store.

Winter Holiday Program and Opening Hours

Youth Winter Holiday 2026

In the cozy Kertsi, we offer open activities where you can come to hang out and meet friends. There are games for everyone: billiards, floorball, PS5, and dozens of board and card games. If you enjoy crafting, Kertsi has its own craft room where you can create based on your own ideas or follow staff instructions. We also organize theme nights, events, and sometimes we bake or cook together. What would you like to do at the youth centre?
