The Festival Weekend 2025 Returns to Tallinn in a New Format

After nearly three years away, The Festival Series returns to Estonia—but this time with a slightly different format.

From April 23 to 26, the brand-new Festival Weekend Tallinn will take over Chesterfield Poker Club, a well-regarded venue in the heart of Tallinn’s poker scene. Powered by Betsafe, this compact, but still very much a lively stop, marks the first-ever “Festival Weekend” edition, setting the tone for what could become a recurring format in the poker calendar.

The Festival Weekend Events

While the schedule is smaller than the full-length Festival Series, there’s still plenty to play for.

The €250 Main Event comes with multiple starting flights, including a flip ‘n go option, and each Day 1 chip leader will also earn a €125 tournament ticket. The event features a multi-stack format, meaning players can qualify multiple times for the Final Day—only their largest stack will go forward, while additional qualified stacks are rewarded with a €500 min-cash each.

For higher rollers, the €500 NLH High adds some weight to the schedule, and mixed game fans can look forward to events like Big O and Open Face Chinese, the latter closing out the weekend action. Cash games will be available around the clock as well.

As a bonus, the Festival organizers, helmed by the ever-enthusiastic Martin “Franke” von Zweigbergk, have sweetened the pot with seven added packages for The Festival Rozvadov, taking place in June. Five full €1,600 packages and two €700 Hendon Mob Championship packages will be up for grabs across various tournaments, giving players in Tallinn a chance to secure their next adventure.

Chesterfield Poker Club

Chesterfield Poker Club will provide a welcoming setting with a professional setup and a player-focused atmosphere. A cashless registration system via an online wallet is in place, and it is recommended to register yourself prior your visit to the club.

Qualify on Betsafe

Players looking to secure their seat for The Festival Weekend Tallinn 2025 on a budget have a great opportunity through the upcoming Betsafe satellite on April 20 at 21:00. With a €20 buy-in, one €750 package is guaranteed, covering three nights’ accommodation in Tallinn (April 24–27), a €250 Main Event ticket, a Festival cap, and entry to one hospitality activity.

The Tallinn stop continues The Festival’s approach of mixing poker variety with a relaxed, community-driven atmosphere. While it’s a shorter stop, the added value, local setting, and qualifiers for Rozvadov give it a solid spot on the spring calendar.
