Name: The Last Wander in Hietaniemi Cemetery
Start: 2025-12-07T13:00:00+02:00
End: 2025-12-07T15:00:00+02:00
Location: Hietaniemi Cemetery Old Chapel

This will be the last event organised with Meet-Up!
As of 2026, events will only be organised via the WhatsApp community.

As always...

We will meet up at the old Chapel and then start wandering. There is no planned area specifically for this wander, we can decide when we meet up. I will be by the old Chapel about 15 minutes before the scheduled time. But you can catch us up if you cannot make it on time. Although be aware, we might stop the walk early if the weather turns against us.

This is not a tour, you are free to wander off in small groups, or alone, and just enjoy the cemetery environment. If you want to stay in a group you can suggest directions, or areas, you want to visit, and the group will listen. These events are simply to bring people together to socialise, just in a place people don't traditionally visit for recreation. I find such places peaceful, and I enjoy photographing the stones and wildlife I find there. Others may like to simply admire the stone work on display, others may like to investigate the stories and history of the people buried there. It is completely open.
The only limits are that you show respect for the environment, and show respect for other users of the cemetery, who may be in mourning.

Feel free to bring cameras for photography, but do get consent if you want to photograph any members of the group.

Dress for the weather, and bring refreshments if and as you want. Nothing is provided, but company. An ad hoc trip to a cafe after the wander does occasionally happen.

As we get closer to the event I will see the weather prediction and decide if we reschedule, but it will need to be extreme weather for that to happen. I will make a weather announcement about a week in advance of the event.

This event is restricted to 20 (19 plus me), purely as a large group walking around the cemetery may not be appreciated by others. However, it is a public place, so all are free to show up and enjoy the space anyway.
