🃏 Discover the Joy of Bridge!
A brilliant game for minds of all ages
Bridge is more than just a card game — it’s a fun, social, and endlessly fascinating challenge that brings people together.
Whether you're a complete beginner or returning to the game after some time away, there's a place for you at the table.
u3a has an online beginners course starting in late 2026, see: https://www.bridgewebs.com/u3abridgegroup
For those planning to return to the game in 2026/27, perhaps see if your local NEBA club offers supervised play and/or sessions for less experienced players
The information below will be updated for next Autumn, and see also https://www.ebu.co.uk/new-players
Summer/autumn tasters often available. Lessons for Beginners often include a free initial session. See local links below:
Hexham - coaching available on Thursday evenings
Wearside - see homepage for latest information
Morpeth Bridge for All (covers various clubs) - supervised play continuing on Thursday afternoons in Hepscott
