In Hämeenlinna Finland 31 July – 03 August 2008.

For the past 30 years the Hippalot Festival has brought a diverse range of art, theatre and drama activities specifically for children.

The festival takes place in Hämeenlinna in Finland, located approximately 100km north of the countries capital, Helsinki.

Each year the festival has a theme and this year they have chosen the circus. The theme will be explored through drama, workshops, visual art, dance, music, circus and encounters with a host of art forms.

 This festival has been a firm favourite with the Finns for many years but as interest grows internationally some English language events have been introduced.
