Ajalugu / History

The Estonian House in Leicester is the home for Estonians in Leicester and in Midlands. It was established in 1960 as a social and cultural centre for the many migrant Estonians who came to Midlands. Now the Estonian house bar is open on Friday evenings and on Sunday lunchtimes.

Estonian Cultural events and holidays are marked at the club by themed evening gatherings. These include: Estonian independence day, Midsummer's eve, Club's anniversary, celebrations by former Estonian Airmen and soldiers, Christmas dinner to name a few.

Most of our Estonian members came to the UK in the 1940's and 1950's, however, new Estonian arrivals are welcome to visit our club and apply for membership.

We welcome all visitors to our club, particularly those visiting the UK from Estonia, or those who have recently relocated to the UK from Estonia.
