Eesti Kodu Bradford
The oldest established Estonian house in the UK
A word from Reet Järvik, our Chairperson
“The Eesti Kodu Club has been and remains a small piece of Estonia in the north of England. It has served as a second home for me and for many Estonians and their descendants. We have now also welcomed a new generation of Estonians to the club who have moved to the UK since the restoration of independence in 1991. It is our mission to continue to promote Estonian culture and the Estonian language in the UK and to introduce Estonia to a wider audience.”
