For you an EPT festival might simply be about the poker, but if you're inclined to take a break from the action at the table, #StarsFun is back to offer plenty of action off it.

The new season begins in the usual way in Barcelona, with a festival guaranteed to offer top level poker to every kind of bankroll. But just as before #StarsFun offers something for those rare trips out of the tournament rooms of Casino Barcelona, out into the summer sunshine.

Casino Barcelona

Here's what's in store.

Player Lounge - August 16-28

Open all day the player lounge is a place to relax and unwind, whether that's during some downtime between events, or to shake off a bad beat. There you'll find couches, armchairs, TVs and more. The perfect place to chill out or talk shop throughout the festival.

Player Party - August 21 (from 10pm)

The ever popular Player Party will kick off Season 13 in spectacular fashion at the popular Pacha nightclub, the Official Party Venue for EPT Barcelona. Bring your PSLive card to take advantage of special discounts throughout the festival.

WaterFun - August 18 & 23 (1pm & 5pm)
