The Festival Weekend is making its Debut in Tallinn!
We have been working on something during the period when there were no live events scheduled since our previous event in Bratislava, and now we proudly would like to present to you the very first edition of The Festival Weekend, powered by Betsafe! What better location Martin 'Franke' von Zweigbergk could have chosen than his beloved Tallinn in Estonia? Chesterfield Poker Club: Here We Come!
The Festival Weekend powered by Betsafe, the first of its kind, will be held at the glamorous new Chesterfield Poker Club. The Club is located in the heart of Tallinn and is widely known, and praised, in the Estonian poker community. To put it into perspective for the ones who are not familiar with this brand; They have opened up their doors in 2024, and hosted already quite some big poker festivals such as the Coolbet Open, and will spread their wings even more in 2025.
Tallinn, and especially Estonian itself, is known for its bruising poker community. Even though, that Estonia is a very small country with just approximately 1,3 million inhabitants, the poker community is one of the strongest and most loyal communities out there. To top it off, they are in love with mixed games, which perfectly aligns with the upcoming edition of The Festival Weekend. Martin 'Franke' von Zweigbergk couldn't be happier with this event: "I have been organising poker events in Tallinn since 2005 with a short break last 3 years, now happy to say: We are back!!! Chesterfield Poker Club is a great addition to the Nordic Gaming scene".
