Kerala Sahitya Academy Hall Thrissur

Though it is an administrative body for cultural centres, inefficiency and bureaucracy exist all over. No regular maintenance found anywhere in the compound. Buildings are not neat. Halls are laying dirty.

Small hall which can accommodate around 300 pax. Plastic chairs available for seating arrangements. Not air-conditioned. Parking available for 30 cars. Right on the heart of town, easily accessible from bus stand and railway station (less than 2 kms.)

Great place for public meetings, protests and other cultural programs.
Peacefull atmosphere.

Great place for public meetings, protests and other cultural programs. Library is good. Peacefull atmosphere,

Good location and atmosphere, yet the maintenance and cleanliness is to be considered by the authorities

Very good place for people who are interested in art and cultural activities. Often, there will be programs connected with art and culture. Occassionally, there used to be exibition of books.

Located in a prominent place. Vast parking area. Suitable for functions with 200 persons. Seating arrangement is moderate

Situated in the middle of Thrissur Town. Best place for conducting small meetings.painting exhibitions.new book releases etc.with low cost.

Well maintained place at the heart of the city. Enough parking space but no dining area might be found as an issue.

An institution under Government of Kerala situated opposite of Thrissur employment exchange and near to Town Hall. There are two halls one is known as Vailoppilly hall and the other is Sahithy Academy Hall. The second one is more spacious than the other.

Neat and clean. But Gents' lavatory door is to be repaired. The door of toilet can not be locked. Hence to use the same is not safe.

Kerala Sahitya Academy Hall is a most popular meeting and book releasing hall among the malayalam writers and all related in Cultural space. There is two halls one is Vailopilly Hall small one with approximate seating for for 50-60 and Main Hall in new block adjacent to old main building having a capacity around 200 people.

Plastic free eco friendly environment. Inside the hall there is photos of great malayalam writers. It's been a privilege to talk in a function here.

The place is very easy to reach because it's located in the town part of Thrissur. Very calm and place and it help us to relax in the umbrage of trees so i love the place
