Your Tallinn hit list: the top 5 events – week 14

06 April 2026 – 12 April 2026

Not sure where to be this week? Every week, in partnership with Gamma, we present a hand-picked selection of the five most compelling events taking place in and around Tallinn – it’s time to plan your week with purpose.

Sip and Create – Ceramic Workshop

Sip wine, shape clay and leave with a piece you actually made yourself. This two-hour pottery session is part creative reset, part low-key social ritual: you’ll get all the materials, hands-on guidance, a glass of wine and the chance to craft your own mug or plate. Your finished piece will be glazed and fired, then ready to collect in around three weeks.

No experience is required – just bring good energy, and maybe a few favourite snacks. Frankly, it beats another forgettable Saturday afternoon.

Standup Comedy Night

This English-language stand-up night rounds up four comedians with wildly different energies and a shared talent for making a room lose it. Paolo Fiducia arrives from Italy with sharp observations, theatrical flair and, yes, more than a few hand gestures. Dr Benjamin Heckscher mines the chaos of modern tech and everyday life for maximum comic payoff, while Karl Alari Varma brings the polish of a comic who’s spent more than a decade earning laughs at Huumoriklubi.

Rounding things off is Aleksander Eeri Laupmaa, winner of Estonia’s first Gong Show and a performer with just the right amount of unpredictable edge. Expect a smart, fast-moving night with plenty of bite.

The social stitch

Swap the Thursday doomscroll for something a bit more wholesome. The Social Stitch is a bi-weekly knitting and crochet club for absolute beginners, seasoned yarn devotees and everyone in between. It’s a relaxed, chatty gathering where you can learn, make something lovely and spend a couple of hours with people who also enjoy doing something with their hands for once.

Bring your own supplies or borrow some there, come solo or with a friend, and don’t worry if your scarf is more concept than garment right now. There’s no pressure, no perfection and no need to know what you’re doing before you walk in.

Yoga and Planetary Gong Sound Spa

Give your overworked nervous system a night off. This slow, restorative evening pairs classical yoga with a planetary gong sound bath – the sort of event designed for anyone who’s been running on fumes and pretending that counts as balance. Expect tea and guided breathwork to start, followed by a gentle hatha and yin yoga practice taken at an unhurried pace, before the whole thing melts into an immersive gong sound journey where you can simply lie back and let the vibrations do their thing.

The session is led by Kristiina Maajärv, a certified yoga teacher, coach and sound therapy practitioner, and welcomes both Estonian and English speakers. Mats, blankets and tea are all provided. Stress, ideally, is not.

Screening of the film “Truth or Dare“

Tonislav Hristov’s documentary takes on fake news not as some abstract internet menace, but as a system with real operators, real incentives and very real consequences. At its centre is investigative journalist Genka Shikerova, who digs into the mechanics of disinformation: who creates it, who bankrolls it and why lies always seem to travel faster than facts. Set against her is Ivan Gerasimov, a conspiracy peddler whose output veers from chemtrails to old-school homophobia, with disturbing ease.

As elections draw closer, the film traces the growing overlap between pro-Kremlin politics and the business of disinformation, until the connections start to look less accidental than engineered. It’s sharp, unsettling and uncomfortably recognisable.

The screening is free, but you’ll need to register via Fienta in advance.
