Want to sell goods in a market square?

You can apply for a daytime sales permit for Helsinki Market Square, Hakaniemi Market Square, Töölö Market Square and Ylä-Malmi Market Square using the online application form. Please note that sales permits can only be approved when applied for using the online form. You can apply for a sales permit all year round.

You can apply for a daytime sales permit as a private individual or as a company. A daytime sales permit is always valid for one market season. The market season begins on 1 March and runs until the end of February of the following year. The summer season is April–September and the winter season is October–March.

A sales permit does not obligate you to sell goods in a market square every day. Instead, you can select market days suitable for you from the booking calendar once you have been issued an approved daytime sales permit. You will only be charged for the market days that you book.

Sales areas:

• Private individuals: The size of the sales area is a two-metre-wide vendor table.
• Companies: The size of the sales area is a tent measuring 3 x 3 metres. Please note that the tent must be owned by the company.

For Hakaniemi Market Square, the City also issues sales permits for selling goods out of a car (e.g. seedlings, flowers, vegetables and root vegetables).

If you would like to operate a café or restaurant in a market square, please send an email to vuokraus@kaupunkitilat.fi
