Toivola Old Courtyard – more familiarly known as Toivola

Toivola Old Courtyard – more familiarly known as Toivola – is a fascinating 19th-century craftsmen’s courtyard that still serves as a welcoming place to meet and gather. In the cozy courtyard of Toivola, visitors can linger and enjoy the high-quality services offered by the courtyard’s operators. This relaxed and good-spirited meeting place delights its guests and provides memorable experiences.

Located right in the heart of Jyväskylä, Toivola nonetheless makes it easy to forget that you are in the middle of a lively city center. Today, the courtyard and its services continue the story of a vibrant urban culture, enabling encounters and memorable moments both in everyday life and during celebrations.

The courtyard’s permanent operators and event organizers are united by their love for a living cultural environment and their desire to offer high-quality services, experiences, and positive encounters, always with a cheerful sparkle in their eyes.

Guests can enjoy the diverse offerings of the permanent operators—Café Valkoinen Puu, the Yarn Shop Titityy, the Craftmanship Museum of the Central Finland Museum, the museum shop Sparvin, Toivola Courtyard Kiosk, Paja catering and events restaurant, the Old Vicarage of Jyväskylä, and Art Catering—either together or individually.

The atmospheric events held in the courtyard create a setting for encounters and experiences. Our venues located in Toivola and the Old Vicarage, together with cooperation among the courtyard’s businesses and other partners, make it possible for our clients to host their own celebrations and events, from intimate gatherings to events for up to 600 people.
