In cooperation with Serlachius, the Mänttä Music Festival organises free childcare during the evening concerts of the festival.

The Mänttä Music Festival and Serlachius will provide childcare and a special programme for children aged 3-10 during the evening concerts of the festival. The programme will take into account the age and development of the children. In the children's corner, they can draw, do arts and crafts, sing, play and read stories.

The Children's Corner is run by Sarah Devoyon, a graduate of the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts (Master of Music), specialising in musical play and early childhood education. Sarah speaks Finnish, English and French. Read more about Sarah Devoyon.
