Special buses pickup location

I have been unable to find the Vanemuine theater on Kuuni Street in my travel guidebook or on the internet. Seems to be more than one Vanemuine theater(?) and the most common address is Vanemuise 6. Could you be more specific where buses will pickup rogainers in Tartu, please?

Thank you,
Carol

Special buses will depart from a parking lot between the Vanemuine theater and the new department store Kaubamaja, next to a small park between Ülikooli and Küüni streets.
See the map at the homepage of Tartu hostels:

The Vanemuine theater (main building) is indicated on the map with the face mask.
The department store Kaubamaja is indicated on the map with the big K in a circle.
In fact, there was a small mistake in our description of the special bus stop location in Bulletion No3. The parking lot where special buses depart is on Ülikooli street, not on Küüni street, which is on the other side of the park.
When you stand in this parking lot on Ülikooli street and look towards the Vanemuine theater, this is the view of the theater you will have: http://static1.nagi.ee/i/p/18/99/0122189951c0c8_m.jpg
The bus is from a company named TAISTO, and will probably look something like

Saturday morning bus is a bit smaller, but should have similar markings.
There will be members of the WRC organizing team at the parking lot to meet you and sell bus tickets.

Thanks so much for your detailed reply.

Yes, thanks for the reply.
Another question: Where in Tallinn will the bus drop us off on Sunday?

The bus will take you to the city center, which is the Viru square. On the way, it may drop off passangers at the airport as the airport is on Tallinn-Tartu road.
