Learn to Play Bridge

Bridge is an absorbing and fascinating hobby, good for the brain and a great way of making new friends.
Our one-year Beginners’ Bridge Course mainly follows the English Bridge Union (EBU) ‘Bridge for All’ programme & is based on the Acol bidding system. Previous knowledge of cards is not required though it will help.   The course is also suitable for anyone who has played a little and wishes to improve their bidding and card play.

Gentle Bridge sessions where someone is on hand to provide advice and guidance, run alongside the bridge lessons.  Learners are welcome to play Gentle Bridge over the summer and join this group at the end of the year / when ready.   Many of our previous learners now attend these sessions regularly.
