COUNTY BRIDGE CLUB HOLIDAY
Makeney Hall Hotel, Makeney Road, Milford, Belper, Derbyshire DE56 0RS
Monday 23 March to Friday 27 March 2026
We had a very successful bridge holiday in March 2025 to the Makeney Hall Hotel and are delighted to announce that we are returning once more to this hotel in 2026 http://www.makeneyhallhotel.co.uk The hotel is situated in six acres of landscaped gardens with countryside views. The hotel is a 15-minute drive from Derby and close to the town of Belper.
The holiday is open to all bridge players; it is not necessary to be a member of any club or county association to participate. It is designed to be fun for all from the inexperienced to regular club players. The holiday is also open to non-bridge players.
Our director for the holiday is once again Steve Wright who will be assisted by his wife, Anne, who will also act as host.
For outings there is a bus service nearby to Derby, Belper, Ripley and more. There are many tourist attractions nearby, which include Chatsworth House, Crich Railway Village and The Peak District or Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton and many others which can easily be reached by car, the bus services or taxi.
We are able to offer the same price as in 2025, but will be providing a 2-course evening meal. The basic cost is £355 per person if sharing a room (twin or double) and for single occupancy rooms £495. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms with bath and/or shower. Please indicate on booking form if you require walk-in shower.
