| Welcome to Kenilworth Bridge Club |
Kenilworth Bridge Club – Your local home of friendly, high-quality bridge.
Discover the Joy of Bridge at Kenilworth Bridge Club
If you love bridge—or have always wanted to learn—Kenilworth Bridge Club is the place for you. We're a friendly, welcoming community where players of all abilities can enjoy the game in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere. We have up to 20 tables in the club and have over 400 members.
Sessions for Everyone
Whether you're a complete beginner, a social player, or a seasoned competitor, we offer sessions to suit you. We run 5 regular duplicate sessions in club per week, with a warm welcome guaranteed, and we also host two evening online sessions each week on BBO so you can join from the comfort of your own home. We also run a gentle duplicate, Novice duplicate and regular social play sessions.
Expert Tuition
We have three fully qualified teachers on hand, offering lessons for every level—from absolute beginners to advanced players looking to refine their strategies. Our classes are engaging, supportive, and designed to help you grow your skills while having fun.
Saturday morning Social Play
We run a Saturday morning social play session. Everyone welcome especially non members. Please just turn up no matter how experienced you are. We have a host available so you don’t need a partner. £5 per session.
Gentle Duplicate Session.
Over summer '26 we are running a gentle duplicate session on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 12pm (arrive by 9:15). There is a host present so you do not need to come with a partner. It is a slightly slower duplicate session for those wanting to play without supervision but at a gentler pace than at the club's main sessions.
Novice Duplicate Sessions.
Our Novice duplicate session on Tuesdays at 1.30pm to 3.30pm and Thursdays at 6:30pm to 8:30pm are for players who want to experience club duplicate sessions but with a little help from more experienced players.
A Perfect Venue for Play
Our dedicated premises provide a comfortable, well-equipped setting with ample parking for members and visitors. Refreshments are served at most of our in-club sessions, making it the perfect place to relax, chat with friends, and enjoy the game.
At Kenilworth Bridge Club, it's not just about the cards—it's about the friendships, the laughter, and the shared love of bridge. Come along and see why so many people call our club their second home.

| KBC/KCC Parking |
The Cricket Club owns the property and we lease our part of the building and share the use of the car park. Now sessions are becoming busier, we do need to remember the parking rules and ensure that we park with due consideration for other users. Usually the parking arrangements for KBC members should be as follows
- First arrivals to park up to the fence line adjacent to the new housing
- The next row (and subsequent rows) must be parked hard up to the first row. Do not leave space for vehicle movements. It is not necessary as we all leave at the same time .
- Emergency vehicle access to our front door should be maintained at all times. Do not park in such a way as to obstruct this.
- Leave access clear to the parking spaces for those with disabilities.
Finally and importantly
- Please do not park on the grass
- Please do not park against the walls of the Cricket club
Occasionally there may be a need for a different parking arrangement and if that is the case someone will be there to direct you.
Thank you for your compliance.
