Sunday 21 April
The Night of the Forgotten Pubs
The Night of the Forgotten Pubs, NFP in short, will take students on a voyage around the forgotten and hidden pearls of Tampere. Pubs, restaurants and all other establishments that fit the bill are located near the centre of Tampere, and the locomotive means of preference is by walking. The event is free, and the participants will receive a map and a battle-plan to help them on their way.
Drinking will be at your own expense, but the top-notch marketing team that is Bosa, seeks to get student-friendly discounts from all the establishments.
The start will be at 6 p.m. from Sorin Klubi (Vuolteenkatu 20).
The optional, though encouraged, dresscode is the colour yellow, but do not despair if your wardrobe does not include such a garment since the event is strictly informal. We do, however, advise you to leave your overalls home, since they can cause unwanted problems concerning the entry into various pubs, bars etc.
